Nia - Index Anything. Search It with AI.

Index docs, repos, PDFs, and datasets -- then search them with AI. Backed by Y Combinator ($6.2M raised)

Nia lets you index docs, repos, PDFs, datasets, spreadsheets, Slack, Google Drive, and more -- then gives your AI agent a search API to query them. Your agent gets real answers instead of hallucinations.

What is Nia?

Nia is an API layer that gives agents up-to-date, continuously monitored context across repositories, documentation, PDFs, datasets, Slack, Google Drive, and local knowledge sources. It handles indexing, search, reading, research, and handoffs so agents can work from real source material instead of guesswork.

You can use it with agents like Cursor or Claude Code as an MCP server, or build your own applications with the Nia API.

Core Capabilities:

Universal Indexing - Index GitHub repos, documentation sites, PDFs, arXiv papers, HuggingFace datasets, spreadsheets, and local folders
Universal Search - Sub-5s semantic search across all indexed sources
Package Search - Search 150M+ pre-indexed documents from PyPI, NPM, Crates.io, and Go modules -- no indexing required
Document Agent - Deploy an autonomous AI agent into any indexed PDF or document for deep research with cited answers
Data Extraction - Extract structured data from PDFs into JSON using custom schemas
Tracer - Search GitHub code without indexing using specialized sub-agents (Fast mode with Haiku, Deep mode with Opus)
Oracle Research Agent - Autonomous deep research across codebases and documentation
Context Sharing - Save plans, discoveries, and conversation state between different agents
Connectors - Integrate Notion, Confluence, and other external sources via OAuth/API key
Google Drive Integration - Browse, select, index, and keep Drive content synced
Slack Search - Index Slack workspaces and search conversations semantically
E2E Encryption - Zero-knowledge sync for iMessage, WhatsApp, Apple Notes, Contacts, and more
Local Sync - Sync local folders, databases, and chat history with continuous monitoring
Scoped MCP - Create task-specific MCP surfaces for focused workflows
Auto-Sync - Sources are continuously monitored and updated automatically
API & MCP - Available as an API or MCP server for any agent

Example: Using Nia in Cursor with Package and Documentation Search
