Needl

One app to search them all

Needl lets you instantly find any document, file, or message you need. We're an intelligent search bar for all your web apps. Have you ever struggled to find a document and couldn’t remember if it was in Gmail or Slack or Notion? Needl gives users a single place to find what they are looking for and businesses pay Needl so their employees never waste time looking for information. We all met as students at the University of Chicago. In college, we became close friends through the projects we built together; we developed language models for essay writing and built a TikTok for articles. After graduation, Angela and James became software engineers at Microsoft and Max went into investment banking at Moelis. In June, we quit our jobs to build Needl, by July we created something we love and use dozens of times a day, and now we have our first users who love Needl. There are 65 million white collar workers in the US — we can save them hours every week by making their knowledge more accessible.
