Needle

Needle is an AI-powered platform designed for fast, precise information discovery and workflow automation across distributed data sources. It connects to documents, knowledge bases, internal tools, and external services, enabling users and teams to ask complex questions and trigger actions through a unified interface. Its primary purpose is to turn fragmented organizational data into an accessible, queryable, and actionable knowledge layer.

At its core, Needle uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ground responses in your actual data, reducing hallucinations and improving reliability. Its RAG API allows developers to programmatically build agentic AI applications that can search, reason, and act over connected systems. Needle supports semantic search, context-aware question answering, and multi-step workflows that combine information retrieval with automation. The platform also emphasizes secure access control and permissions, ensuring that users only see information they are authorized to view.
