About The Prize - DataCouncil.ai Conference

I have written about DataCouncil in the past, way back when it was called DataEngConf, and to this day… it's still my favorite data conference.
Why? The content is excellent and the community is kind and welcoming.
DataCouncil has such a wonderful community, that I have volunteered multiple times in the past and I even hosted a panel in 2017 (ahhhh sweet youth… how you have faded), on leveling up your data science career.
About The Prize - Nintendo Switch 2 Bundles
Well, we at Needle AI are nerds and we love Nintendo!
The design, the gameplay… how Nintendo consistently punches above its weight class and outsells major competitors using cheaper hardware but with better craftsmanship, innovation and sheer brilliance…and…cough… Zelda… ahem… Zelda.
These are all good reasons, but here is the main AI reason we are excited about: AI upscaling!

About The Prize - Needle AI Pro Subscription
Get a month of Needle Pro and see how your productivity skyrockets! :)
How does Needle help you at work?
- The Problem: According to McKinsey research, knowledge workers spend 1.8 hours (108 minutes) every work day searching for information.
- Solution: Needle helps you find the information you need fast, saving you 60–90 minutes a day, so you can focus on what matters: your job.
- All Your Data in One Place: Connect data sources like Notion, Slack, Google Drive, Gmail, etc. and Needle will search everything for you and find what you need. All in one window.
- Beyond search, Needle will soon enable you to update (i.e. write) files via the Needle chat interface. This saves you from having to open up other programs or switching between windows.
