Absolutely blown away by how fast and efficient this AI tool is! The retrieval-augmented generation feature is a game-changer—it not only provides accurate and relevant responses but also ensures that I get the information I need almost instantly. The combination of real-time retrieval and contextual generation is perfect for deep research or brainstorming sessions. What sets this tool apart is its versatility: it adapts seamlessly to different topics, supports complex queries, and even integrates effortlessly with my workflow. The intuitive interface makes it super easy to use, even for someone new to AI tools. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smart, reliable, and lightning-fast assistant!
Interesting conceptn how well does it handle complex queries across multiple connected data sources?

Hi Product Hunt community 👋
Today, we're introducing the next evolution of Needle. A thoughtful solution to a problem we've all experienced: the disconnect between our knowledge and our tools.
While searching across apps is valuable, we realized something important was missing... the ability to act on what you find. With Needle Knowledge Threader, we've built a bridge between discovery and action.
In a workspace fragmented across Google Drive, Slack, Notion, and Jira, Needle now provides a unified command center. Our new write capabilities allow you to not just find information, but to update, transform, and direct it precisely where it needs to go; All from a single conversation.
What makes Needle Knowledge Threader different:
🔄 Two-way connection: Needle doesn't just read from your apps. It can write back to them, creating a complete information loop.
🧠 Chat-powered automation: Build and execute mini-automations directly in your chat interface. No complex setup required. Just describe what you need, and Needle handles the rest.
💡 Agentic workflows: Initiate sophisticated multi-step processes across your tools with simple conversational commands. Needle works autonomously to complete tasks that would normally require multiple manual steps.
We built this because we needed it ourselves. A quiet but powerful tool that reduces the friction between knowledge and action. No more context switching, just seamless work that adapts to how you communicate naturally.
We're grateful for the opportunity to share Needle with the Product Hunt community and look forward to your thoughts on how we can make it even better.
With appreciation,
The Needle Team - @oeken , @bugraaydingoz , @jaredpolivka & @jan_heimes
Also, shoutout to @rohanrecommends for being a great hunter!

Needle Knowledge Threader seems like a great solution for tackling the friction between finding info and acting on it—no more jumping between apps! The ability to update and transform data directly within your tools is a huge time-saver. How customizable are the workflows for different teams, and can it integrate with less common tools besides the big names like Google Drive and Slack?

@jonurbonas
Yes, we also offer other tools (we calls these "connectors"... as in a connector to a data source).
We also offer Dropbox, Jira, Confluence, Notion, Airtable, Github, Microsoft Outlook, a web connector (i.e. URLs), and we even offer a local connector for local files that are not in the cloud.
We will be adding new connectors coming up. Do you have any requests?
Currently on our to add list is: HubSpot, Zendesk, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Teams and Sharepoint.
Let us know if there are other connectors you want, or if you have product feedback or other feature requests.
Thanks Jonas :)

@jonurbonas Something to mention is also that we are having an API, so theoretically, you can also build your own connector and stream the data via our API to Needle hence making it searchable.
Let's go Jan, saw this on LinkedIn & it really caught my eye - Loving what you're doing w/ Needle :))
I be using Zapier all the time but this is the sort of integration I need to actually accomplish what I'm setting out to do!
Best of luck to you & the team!!
