I recently updated our app to Next.js 16, and soon after started seeing new issues in the backend. Things I’d never seen before: JSON.parse() is failing before the request hits any of the code I wrote. Very strange...

Hi Hackers Creator of Needle here. We are launching our SaaS platform to connect different data sources, mostly unstructured, and make building RAG-based chatbots & agents a breeze.
It's a fully managed solution with SDK libraries in Typescript and Python. We believe:
1. Chatting with your whole data must be easier
2. Developing AI agents must focus more on the domain. expertise rather than setting up infra.
With these goals we built Needle, it has a forever free tier so everyone can try. Curious to hear your thoughts!
