Needl.ai has signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS, building on our place in the AWS Pattern Partner Program. It puts our context engine and agentic AI infrastructure in front of AWS enterprise customers, ready to run on regulated workloads from day one.
Two formal agreements sit behind Needl.ai on AWS. Together they mean AWS has reviewed how we are built and committed its own teams to working alongside ours.
A joint go to market commitment. AWS account teams bring Needl.ai into conversations with their enterprise customers, and our engineers support those deployments alongside them. It opens the AWS enterprise base to us and puts both sides on the same accounts.
An inaugural Pattern Partner, named for document analysis and retrieval in regulated environments. The Pattern Partner Program is how AWS identifies architectures worth repeating, which is what makes deployment a matter of weeks rather than months.
The partnership is not only a commercial arrangement. It changes where your data sits, how long a rollout takes, who you call when something breaks, and how the invoice reaches you.
Needl.ai runs inside your own AWS account. Documents are processed where they already sit, under the IAM, VPC and KMS controls your team already operates. Your risk review is about a workload in your perimeter, not a new place for your data to go.
Because the architecture is a reviewed AWS pattern, the templates and the reference design already exist. That is the difference between a rollout measured in weeks and one measured in quarters.
You keep the account, the keys, the network boundary and the audit trail. Models run through Bedrock inside the AWS boundary, so inference does not leave for an outside API either.
Buying through Marketplace means no new vendor to onboard and no separate contract to negotiate. It arrives on the AWS bill you already receive, through a route your procurement team has used before.
You keep the cloud your security team has already approved. Needl.ai is the layer on top that reads the documents sitting in it.
The whole pipeline sits on AWS managed services, from the moment a document lands to the moment an analyst gets a cited answer back.
Handles the reasoning behind each answer and the pages nothing else can parse. Models can be swapped without rebuilding the pipeline.
Textract reads the straightforward files. Harder scans go to vision models we host on SageMaker.
Documents land in S3 and are indexed in OpenSearch, which handles both keyword and vector search in one place.
These numbers come from customers running Needl.ai on AWS today, across financial services and capital markets.
It follows the same route as anything else you buy from AWS, which skips most of what normally holds a deployment up.
Marketplace purchases can count toward the commitments you have already made to AWS.
It appears on the AWS bill you already receive each month.
The deployment templates are already validated, so this takes days rather than weeks.
The architecture follows the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Coming soonWhat teams ask about running Needl.ai on AWS.
Two. A Strategic Collaboration Agreement, a joint go-to-market commitment in which AWS account teams bring Needl.ai to their enterprise customers and our engineers support those deployments, and a place as an inaugural AWS Pattern Partner for document analysis and retrieval in regulated environments.
Yes. On AWS it runs inside your own account, including AI due diligence on your data rooms, under the access, network and encryption controls your team already operates. The other deployment options are on Trust & Security.
Yes. It appears on the AWS bill you already receive, and Marketplace purchases can count toward the commitments you have already made to AWS.
