can ai read my needle data

Yes. A companion can search a collection through a connected Needle account, and work the screens you already use for anything the API does not expose.

what can strawberry actually do in needle

Exactly what Needle exposes and no more: search a collection, which is the whole list, across the collections. The full list is printed on the app's page inside Strawberry and repeated above.

That is the common case. A companion reads the collections your Needle account holds, works each one against whatever else you point it at, and hands back the rows with a source on each.

You authorise the Needle connection in your own browser and read the permissions before you accept them. The credential is stored encrypted outside Strawberry, the connection belongs to one Strawberry profile, and disconnecting removes it. More on the gates at is it safe to let AI use my browser.

Hand the Needle collections to a companion

Needle exposes 1 operation and a companion can work it: search a collection. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.

Open the collection. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Needle afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.

What it can do is exactly what Needle exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 1 operation, 1 read and no writes. In practice that means it can search a collection.

The Needle API stops at Needle. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.

Which Needle collections does a companion see?

The only operation there is reads.

Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search a collection, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Needle's documentation.

The collections are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the collections. A companion can hold that operation and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Needle admin becomes a queue you review.

Search Collection

Nothing writes back. So what moves the collections?

Through the screens you already use.

Needle exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Needle in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a collection, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.

That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a collection in Needle touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.

Can the collections pass run every Monday?

Yes.

Saved as a routine, the Needle collections pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.

The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the Needle collections sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
