Hey everyone!
I just wrapped up recording a demo of our latest SharePoint integration, and honestly, I'm pretty excited about how this one turned out. If you've ever spent way too long clicking through SharePoint folders looking for that one document you know exists somewhere, this might be exactly what you need.
The problem we're solving
SharePoint is great for storing and organizing documents, but let's be real - finding specific information buried in your files is still a pain. You end up either bookmarking everything (which gets messy fast) or doing the digital equivalent of rummaging through filing cabinets.
What if you could just ask your SharePoint "What are our security protocols for client data?" and get an actual answer with the exact source?
How it actually works
The setup is surprisingly straightforward. You create a collection in Needle, connect to your SharePoint site, pick which folders or files you want to track, and we handle the rest. Our AI indexes everything so you can search using natural language instead of trying to remember exact filenames.
In the demo, I connected to our company SharePoint, pulled in some product documentation, and then started asking questions. The cool part isn't just that it finds the right information - it's that it shows you exactly where that information comes from, down to the specific page number.
Why this matters
Most enterprise search tools give you a list of potentially relevant documents and leave you to figure out the rest. We're trying to do something different - actually answer your questions and show our work. No black box, no guessing whether the information is accurate.
Plus, you can combine SharePoint data with other sources. Ask questions that span your CRM, email, and document repositories all at once. That's when things get interesting.
What's next
This integration is part of our broader push to make enterprise data actually useful instead of just accessible. We're working on more connectors and better ways to synthesize information across different systems.
If you're dealing with SharePoint document overload, the demo video shows the whole process from setup to search. Worth checking out if you're curious about how AI search can work in practice rather than just in theory.
Always happy to hear what you're struggling with when it comes to finding information at work. What's your biggest document search frustration?
You can try Needle's SharePoint integration free for 7 days. No credit card required, just connect and start searching.
