Checked by hand
Analysts work through a list of sites one at a time, and the site nobody reached is where the change happened.
Regulatory change, monitored daily
Needl.ai reads the regulator, ministry and legislature websites you cover every day, grades each new item high, medium or low against your own brief, and sends your team a daily brief, with an alert as soon as anything high priority lands. Every item links back to its source.
Regulator websites were never built to be watched
A consultation, a bill or a final rule lands on a website designed for a person with a browser. There is usually no feed, many notices are PDFs behind a landing page, and nothing tells you which of the day's items matters to your firm.
Everything looks urgent
Until someone reads each item, a procedural notice and a binding rule look the same, so the day goes on sorting.
Updates written from scratch
Each client or internal update is drafted by hand, with the authority, dates and applicability typed in again.
Every source watched, every item graded
Needl.ai collects everything from the sources you cover, then decides what a person should read today, and applies that judgment the same way every day.
Every source on a schedule
Each regulator site is checked automatically, whether or not it publishes a feed, including notices published as PDFs.
Each item graded
New items are classified as relevant or not, then as high, medium or low priority, with the reasoning kept.
The fields an update needs
Authority, jurisdiction, update type, effective date and applicability, or whichever fields your updates use, are extracted from the source.
A brief and alerts
A brief on your schedule, grouped by priority, and an alert the moment a high priority item matches.
From a sentence to a daily brief
How a watch moves through Needl.ai, from set-up to the brief your team reads.
-
01Describe what to watch
Write what your team needs to track in plain English, or start from a template. Needl.ai works out the keywords and finds the sources for it. A tracker sends alerts as items land and a digest on your schedule; a report is written on a schedule.
You getA tracker set up from one description.
-
02Every source on a schedule
Each source is set up around the page that carries its new rules and checked on its own schedule, whether it publishes a feed, a sitemap or only web pages and PDFs. When a site is unavailable, the check is retried.
You getSites with and without feeds, watched alike.
-
03Each item graded
Your brief is turned into rules: what is in scope, what to exclude and what counts as high priority. Every new item is judged against them and graded high, medium or low, and the reason is kept with the passage it rests on.
You getThe day's items, sorted by what matters.
-
04The fields an update needs
The fields your updates use, such as authority, jurisdiction, update type, effective date and applicability, are extracted from each item. When a value is not yet known, such as the effective date of a bill still in committee, the field says so.
You getThe facts of each change, ready to use.
-
05One brief a day, alerts within minutes
High priority items go out as an alert as soon as they are graded. The brief follows on your schedule, with the top insights first and then each priority band, and a band with nothing new says so. Every item carries why it matters and a link to the source.
You getA short daily read, with nothing urgent left waiting.
Built around what your team is accountable for
Every part of the watch follows your own brief, and every item keeps the trail back to its source.
Set up in plain English
Describe what to track in a sentence, or start from a template, and Needl.ai works out the keywords and sources.
Your rules, every day
Scope, exclusions and what counts as high priority come from your brief, with overrides for particular authorities.
Duplicates merged with care
The same change reported in several places appears once, and items merge only when a second check confirms they are the same event.
Every language you cover
Notices in other languages are translated into English in full before they are graded, with the original a click away.
Company filings too
Exchange filings for the companies you follow are watched alongside regulators, each filing treated as its own event.
Sources you rule out stay out
Publishers you do not want are excluded outright, before anything is graded.
Nothing sent unlabelled
An item that cannot be graded is held back with a reason, so every item that reaches you carries its priority.
The source behind every item
Each item links to the notice it came from, and the grade keeps the passage it rests on.
Alerts, digests and reports
Instant alerts for high priority, a digest on your schedule, or a fully sourced research report, delivered by email.
What changes for the compliance team
Every sourceChecked on its own schedule, where analysts used to work through a list of sites by hand.
Graded firstEach item is marked high, medium or low before anyone reads it, where every item used to look equally urgent.
Fields extractedAuthority, dates and applicability come from the source, where each update used to be typed from scratch.
“Most tools flood you with thousands of keyword alerts. Needl.ai cuts through the noise with relevant, classified alerts mapped to the things we are actually accountable for.”
In your cloud, in your region

Frequently asked questions
What compliance teams ask before putting a regulatory watch on Needl.ai.
Which sources can it watch?
Regulators, ministries, supervisors and legislatures, whether they publish a feed, a sitemap or only web pages and PDFs, as well as exchange filings for the companies you follow. Sites behind a login can be included where your firm has access.
How does it decide what is high priority?
Your brief is turned into rules: what is in scope, what to exclude and what counts as high, medium or low, with overrides for particular authorities. Each item is graded against those rules, and the reason is kept with the passage it rests on.
Will we still see low priority items?
Yes. Relevant items are delivered in their band, high, medium or low. Only items outside the scope you described are left out.
What happens when a site has no feed or goes down?
Sites without feeds are read directly on a schedule, including notices published as PDFs. When a site is unavailable, the check is retried.
How is this different from keyword alerts?
Keyword alerts send everything that matches. Needl.ai reads each item, decides whether it matters to you and how much, and extracts the facts an update needs, so the team reads a short brief instead of a long feed.
Where does it run?
In your own AWS or Azure account, in your region, or in Needl.ai's cloud to start. Briefs and alerts are delivered to your team by email.
See a week of briefs on your own sources
Send us the regulators and legislatures you cover, and we will set up a watch so your team can judge a week of briefs and alerts for itself.
