Needle

Needle is a proactive GTM (go-to-market) agent that lives in Slack and Teams. It watches your pipeline, spots stalled deals and drafts follow-ups, preps you before calls, keeps your CRM tidy, and surfaces real buying signals—all without needing you to ask. It connects to HubSpot, Gmail, and Gong, and operates through your existing permissions with no lock-in.

Most sales AI waits for you to ask. Needle is proactive. It works like a GTM engineer on your team: it watches your pipeline and acts before you do. Spots stalled deals and drafts the follow-up, preps you before calls, keeps your CRM tidy, and surfaces real buying signals, all from inside Slack and Teams. Wired into HubSpot, Gmail and Gong. Not another dashboard.

Review Needle?

Needle earns strong praise for making complex AI workflows feel simple and fast. Reviewers highlight quick setup for RAG use cases, smooth integrations with Google Drive, Notion, and Slack, and notably better context handling than general chat tools. Users report accurate, near‑instant answers, improved search across PDFs and spreadsheets, and an intuitive interface that saves time and scales well for business needs. Some curiosity remains about handling very complex, multi-source queries, but overall sentiment emphasizes reliability, versatility, and clear productivity gains for content, research, and operations.

Hey Product Hunt, Jan here, cofounder of Needle.

We spent months talking to 100+ GTM and RevOps leaders, and the same thing kept coming up: the work that actually moves deals isn't the selling. It's everything around it. Researching accounts, chasing stalled deals, prepping for calls, keeping the CRM honest, finding the right case study at the right moment. The context that wins deals is scattered across HubSpot, Slack, Gong and email, and reps drown in it.

Most sales AI waits for you to ask it something. That never solved the real problem.

So we built Needle to work like a GTM engineer that sits on your team. It's proactive: it watches your pipeline and acts before you ask. It spots a deal going quiet and drafts the follow-up. It preps you before every call. It tidies the CRM on its own. It surfaces the buying signal worth acting on and ignores the noise. All of it lives in Slack and Teams, where your team already works.

You make the calls. Needle handles the busywork around them. It acts through your existing permissions, so it can do what you can do and nothing you can't, and your context and memory stay portable and fully yours. No lock-in.

Not another dashboard. Think of it as your right hand to closed-won.

Super excited to finally see this out in the open 🚀

One thing that stood out while building Needle is how much of a rep’s day is spent on everything except selling: research, CRM updates, follow-ups, finding the right context, preparing for calls. That’s exactly the problem we wanted to solve.

Proud of what the team has built, and we’re just getting started. We’d love to hear what the Product Hunt community thinks!

@valentin_po Couldn't have said it better. The wildest part building this was realizing how little of a rep's day is actually spent selling. We built Needle so that everything else just happens in the background. Proud to be building this with you 🚀

Finally gave this a spin in our Slack and the pre-call prep nudge saved me from walking into a discovery call blind. The stalled-deal drafts are a bit generic but honestly useful as a starting point.

What's great

Fantastic tool for automation, especially for beginners who don't know what they are doing as well as hardened pros that can create pure magic. With this I was able to create an automation that scrapes related news for my interests and scores them for their importance within 30 minutes!

What needs improvement

On model page, I greedily used Opus 4.6 and it drained my free credits (which was more than enough for one automation workflow). Average credit usage can be mentioned in model selection pop-up menu for better guidance.

vs Alternatives

Other alternatives looks bloated and doesn't provide you with enough information to use them. You need full blown courses to get started with n8n and zapier.

Using Needle for my RAG has been a game-changer. I was able to create a workflow that lets my audience query my 400+ podcast episodes - and get answers in my brand voice - without needing a tech team or months of setup.

I had tried several other RAG systems and none of them had the features or API functionality I was looking for.

What impressed me most was how intuitive the platform is. Needle took something that can feel highly technical and made it accessible. Within minutes, I had a working RAG that not only surfaces relevant content but also helps me repurpose and amplify it in ways I hadn’t imagined.

For anyone who wants to make their content searchable, usable, and personalized, Needle is an invaluable tool. It’s saved me time, expanded how I engage with my audience, and opened new opportunities for thought leadership.

Great tool for building AI workflows . Easy to use, fast, and saves a lot of time. Highly recommended.

What needs improvement

It would be great to make importing workflows even easier. For example, allowing n8n users to upload JSON workflow files directly into Needle for faster setup and smoother integration.
