@oeken @jan_heimes @jaredpolivka Many congrats on the launch! :)
Excited to hunt Needle at PH today! :)
🤝 How I met the founders:
Jan reached out to me a few weeks ago seeking feedback for their product. I am happy they are launching today. I also had a conversation with Jan and his co-founder Onur. They shared what they are building and why, it convinced me to hunt the product.
🚀 What is the product:
Needle allows you to connect your private data sources like Google Drive, Gmail, Confluence, Notion to Needle's Knowledge Threading™ platform and get instant answers to all your questions. Plus, use Needle's API to build context-aware AI agents.
👍 Why I like it and endorse it:
One of the most sophisticated tools that I have seen in a long time. Try it out yourself and chat with your documents. Additionally, build your context-aware Agents with Needle. Cool tool!
Give Needle a spin. I am stoked to share it with you today! :)
Needle is simple to use and has a straightforward API for integrating. Everything you need to build an agent and keep it informed!
Maker
@marcusfreeland Appreciate that Marcus. We are happy to explore Needle further together with you!
Makes so much sense! No more answering "The customer already told us their requirement about this, I think it's documented somewhere in Google Drive or Notion", and then spending ages with Drive's search tool.
Is there a general way to import / link data in a service that y'all don't integrate with? For example, our call recording transcripts are in a tool called Glyphic.
Maker
@neilsatra1 Yes indeed there is. You can just load .txt files to needle either via the UI or via the API. Both options are possible. What do you intent to build?
Hey team! Congrats! Would it be safe to say it’s an alternative to Zapier, Make, etc.?
@kate_ramakaieva Hi Kate! Needle would be a great complementary tool to automation platforms as a building block for semantic search. However in future, we'll release features that allow taking actions in plain natural language. Book a call with us, we can discuss more.
Maker
@alexanderfarr Thank you so much! Absolutely. We collaborate extensively with remote and distributed teams ranging from 10 to 1000 employees to optimize their workflows and enable seamless collaboration.
Maker
@alexanderfarr one thing that we've noticed is that remote teams working in different time zones have specific knowledge that is sometimes locked up within individual talent or documented somewhere that is not intuitive.
Let's say you work in New York and several of your colleagues work in Berlin. It is afternoon, and your colleagues are currently asleep while you are working.
However, you need an answer to a question or you need context on a past decision. You are hitting a roadblock and need answers now to move forward on what you are working on.
Before Needle, you had the following options:
1. Wake up your colleague in the middle of the night and have a conversation.
2. Spend 1-4 hours searching through documentation on Slab, in Slack, in Google Drive, in Jira, etc.
3. Wait until tomorrow to ask your colleague, work on something else (perhaps lower in priority) in the meantime.
Now, you have a fourth option:
Ask Needle (which is connected to all of our company data) and get the answer fast.
You save several hours of time, get the answers you need and your colleagues sleep soundly :)
This is one of the ways we help remote / distributed teams.
I upload alot of documents and am incredibly bad at organizing them. this tool just makes my life easier because of that!
Maker
@luispereira Sounds like a perfect use case for Needle to help you find the Needle in the Haystack!
Maker
@win32hack @viorica_vanica Also you can explore the tool on your own with our forever free version. Happy to discuss your use case any time over call :) Let's connect on LinkedIn.
Launching soon!
@win32hack @viorica_vanica @jan_heimes my instant question was about privacy? How so I make sure my business data is private?
Maker
@win32hack @viorica_vanica @jan_heimes @elena_opreag
Great question Elena!

Needle gave me a smarter way to manage and interact with my data across tools and helped me automate my workflows.
Maker
@raghavendra_devadiga4 Happy to hear, that you enjoy the tool and it helps you! Happy to support your specific use case!
SO excited to see this launch. Go Needle! Knowledge management revolution is long overdue 🚀
Maker
@zara_zaman Thanks so much! Indeed we think the same. The best part is, that Needle helps you not only to do Knowledge Management, but also build your own context aware agents based on your private data.
I know the team personally and I know how much blood and sweat they put into it. Great product!
Maker
@claudio_heintze Ciao Claudio! Really appreciate your comment and words. Made me smile. Thanks for sharing some love!
Maker
@dejavideos Thanks a lot, we thought the same, that is how we also came up with Needle. Making people spend more time on what they love doing instead of searching for information.
I recommend Needle! It is truly a revolutionary platform for data discovery. With Needle, you can instantly connect and search for information across all your private data sources, such as Google Drive, Gmail, Confluence, and Notion, thanks to its unique Knowledge Threading technology
Launching soon!
Congrats on the launch of Needle! It’s great to see how your platform helps teams quickly access and manage information across different tools. The AI-powered search and automation features will save a lot of time. Wishing you all the best with your launch!
Maker
@mikita_aliaksandrovich thanks for the comment Mikita. Great that you enjoy using Needle! What data sources do you normally work with?
Launching soon!
Congrats, Needle team! 👏 its ability to build AI agents using the SDK and API is a standout feature. For a tech team like ours, this opens up exciting possibilities to create custom workflows tailored to our needs. i like it perfecttt
A quick question: What’s the learning curve for integrating Needle’s SDK into existing projects?
Maker
@yatheen_brahma Hi there Yatheen, we designed Needle in a way, that we focused on a great UX and DX making it as easy as possible to integrate Needle into existing projects. Happy to chat over LinkedIn about details.
Maker
@angelina__ashley Happy to hear that! Would love to see how you use Needle in your day to day life and talk about current challenges that you are facing to potentially automate.
Maker
@iamnotkingkong Thanks for the comment! We will keep pushing to make Knowledge Management and building context aware AI Agents a blast in 2025.
It makes a huge amount of sense, we want data & we want it fast without the hassle of searching around etc.
It seems you & the team Onur, have done a fantastic job, glad to hear that I can be far more objective with my needs!!
Best of luck w/ the launch to you & the team.
Given the integration between Google Drive and Confluence, I can see this streamlining my daily routine.
Maker
@ri__ley__brooke We are happy to hear that. Love to see how you are currently using Drive and confluence in your daily flows :)
