About this Applet
Save a Gemini-generated response as a file in Google Drive. The Applet runs when an iOS Shortcuts automation starts: it sends your prompt to Gemini via ask_gemini and then uploads the file at the URL your Shortcut provides to Google Drive. Useful for archiving AI replies, notes, or logs created on iPhone with iOS Shortcuts so you can organize and share them from Google Drive.
