Looking forward to receiving an invite to Needl.ai. On another note, once you are ready, maybe you should consider putting it up on hacker news (https://news.ycombinator.com/), for feedback (its a tech community managed by Y Combinator) and maybe launch on ProductHunt.com. @KuntalShah

@KuntalShah In the webinar you have shown that we can provide the data/files from Google Drive. Would like to know will that data be copied to AWS storage and further processed or it will be processed directly from the GDrive?
Data is read and copied from Drive and stored in needl AWS and processed in cloud

Thanks for your comparison on X1 and from what I read in your message Needl looks like an excellent product. I also used alfresco but I think from the looks of it Needl does far more than x1 or alfresco
Are you targetting only valuepikr or your audience is likely to be anyone that would need such a service, eg, corporates
The reason I am asking you is that if you want to market it in EU, there are strong data protection laws and you might probably like to look on ways around it from the onset. For eg, hosting it on EU servers where data doesnt leave EU is usually the most cheapest way to accomplish that. Also hosting it in a country that has similiar laws allows one to market the services accross all other countries. For instance Australia has strong data protection laws that the EU recognizes and data held there usually passes EU data protection laws.
I am sure you and your team already know all this but I thought at the risk of sounding pendantic its worth mentioning anyway.
Hope to see more of the product when its launched.

Really excited for the webinar and hope to learn more. Have also registered/applied for fast track access 
I am especially impressed by all the safeguards taken to protect data and privacy of the users. What we need to appreciate is that this is possibly the first app which would have access to literally all our data (if we chose to configure it that way). It thus becomes very important not just for the privacy but also security standards to be as high as the sources from which data is being taken (Gmail, Whats app). Of course the fact that their entire code is on AWS and uses KMS Encryption definitely helps.
@KuntalShah , I was wondering since I could not find this part online (on the website), does needl.ai also follow GDPR? I know that GDPR is a european law, but most tech companies have built GDPR compliance for their global user base. This provides me an additional sense of security when I use Gmail/Whats app etc. I suspect that you already follow GDPR compliance for all your users since your users could be based out of europe but just wanted to confirm once.

we shall have to be GDPR compliant at some point as we enter mature and also bulk of our market is in developed economies where knowledge workers like lawyers, consultants, Chartered accountants and others spend huge amount of time organizing, sorting, searching and processing data
anyone having a high volume of data with high noise content and low signal value, high velocity and variety, and data residing in large no of silos and venues is our addressable market

Folks - After being active into Investing and a voracious reader with good industry networking, this is the first time I have seen a Market Veteran floating a Al/ML based information retrieval tool at this phase of his career, more than that this tool comes directly from Horse mouth that is Kuntal Ji himself. A man who has been there, done that all hands on for more than three decades now, if he designed something from scratch for his needs, we can not go wrong about the capabilities and workflow of this platform.
I read some background on Kuntal Ji, but i did not know its the same gentleman behind this framework.
When I invest its the Management that is make or break for me in a business, ditto this time, the only reason I got my hands on this framework was because of the management, Kuntal Ji.
Above, look at this synopsis how Mr. Kuntal phases the evolution of investment evolution and see the last box I circled and thats the genesis of NEEDLE.AI.
Now I can connect the dots that what made Kuntal Ji conceptualize this framework and what should we expect out of it.
Those who need double click on who is Kuntal Shah and what is his investment journey and his mental models please read this comprehensive interview.

Thank you Kuntal Ji. Indebted for your contribution SIR.
(On a lighter and commercial note - you already have a paying customer confirmed.)

Thankyou Kuntal Ji.
Few questions -
1- I added whatsapp app verified the qr but nothing happens then. All i see a popup saying its connected.
2- how can i add my own feeds to be tracked? If this feature is Not there it will be a big miss.
3- I have big list of keyword that I want to track. Any way I can upload it for each feed than defining it manually?
4- have we enabled platform to do advanced search like proximity, fuzzy, term weight? Your full text search framework already has it, just need to enabled addons. I am assuming you are using Solr or elastic search framework?
5 - Any way to crate alerts, since there is no app yet for notification how about email alerts to start with?
There are many more qts just want to focus on high impact first while we are improvising the framework.
