FAQs
Needl.ai answers the questions teams ask most: what it is, how it keeps data private, and where it fits.

What is Needl.ai?
Needl.ai is private enterprise AI for financial markets. Private equity and private credit teams use it for AI due diligence, from the data room to a cited investment committee memo. It reads your data rooms, filings, research, email and drives, and answers the questions your investment, credit and research teams ask every day, with a citation behind every number. Learn more about the platform and Trust and Security.
How is Needl.ai different from a general-purpose AI chatbot?
Needl.ai is retrieval-first and grounded in your own documents, so every answer is cited and traceable rather than generated from memory. It runs without a vector database and deploys privately. See how this works across our use cases.
Is our data kept private and secure?
Yes. Needl.ai runs in your own cloud account, on premise, or in a dedicated instance we operate. It follows the permissions of each source system and never trains on your data. Read more on Trust and Security and in our Privacy Policy.
