**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
