Hey everyone! Jan here with some pretty exciting news I've been dying to share with you.
So we just rolled out something that's honestly got me pumped - we've integrated Needle AI with Microsoft OneDrive, and I think it's going to change how you think about finding stuff in your files.
Look, I know we've all been there. You're looking for that one document, and you're clicking through folder after folder, trying different search terms, getting increasingly frustrated. It's like your files are playing hide and seek with you, and they're winning.
Well, that's about to change.
Here's what we built
With this new integration, your OneDrive files automatically sync with Needle. Once they're in there, you can search through everything using natural language. And I mean everything - PDFs, PowerPoints, Excel sheets, Word docs, the whole nine yards.
The setup? Honestly, it's pretty straightforward. Create a collection in Needle, connect your OneDrive, pick what you want to sync, and you're off to the races. Our AI does the heavy lifting, indexing everything so it's ready when you need it.
The part that gets me excited
What I love most about this is the transparency. When Needle gives you an answer, it shows you exactly where that information came from. No black box nonsense - you can see the source, verify it yourself, and actually trust what you're working with.
Plus, this isn't happening in isolation. You can now connect your document management with your CRM, Airtable, Outlook, whatever systems you're already using. Everything talks to everything else, which means you get the full picture instead of these disconnected silos.
Why this matters
I genuinely think this changes the game for how businesses handle their data. Instead of information being this thing you have to hunt down, it becomes something that's just there when you need it. That means faster decisions, less time wasted, and honestly, a lot less stress.
We're still early in this journey, but I'm really curious to see what you all build with this. If you run into any issues or have questions, just reach out. We're here to help make this work for you.
Thanks for being part of this with us. Now go find some files you forgot you had!
