Use Piply in Gemini
Add Piply as a custom app and ask Gemini to consult your course materials. Connecting adds Piply tools; it does not restrict Gemini to those sources. Check references and confirm any practice you ask it to save.

Illustrative prompt. After connecting, check the source references and any saved result in Piply. This example is not a record of a completed tool call.
Account access and review
Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.
