Just submit your workflow and start earning.

@curiouskitty Short: speed of iteration.
Long: Building (chatting) on Needle is much faster, so you can save a lot of time. Also if your workflow using RAG then Needle is also the better choice since we have RAG built-in. We call it Needle Collections.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Jan here, co-founder of Needle.
After months of work, we are really excited to bring this to you, we call it:
> Vibe-Automation
What does that mean?
> Needle makes it simple to create workflows by chatting and monetizing them.
Three problems we kept running into:
- You are building a workflow, but it’s complex and takes time to build.
- You finished a workflow, but it brakes constantly and is hard to maintain.
- You are proud of your workflow, but you have no simple way to share what you built - let alone earn from it.
We've been heads down on the last year to fix this.
Today we're shipping two things:
1. Workflow Builder 2.0
- Describe your workflow in plain English.
- Our agent builds it, tests it end-to-end, self-heals and ships it.
2. Partner Program
- Publish your workflow to our marketplace, with 1-click.
- Other users run it. You earn per run.
---
What we'd love your take on:
1. Does "earn from your workflows" land right away - or does something need to click first?
2. Where did our workflow builder feel slow, unclear or inaccurate?
3. What's the first workflow you'd build and sell?
We'll be here all day.

@jan_heimes Hey, congratulations on the launch. Just one question; how does Needle handle enterprise compliance (GDPR/SOC2) and API rate limits for high-volume runs in paid marketplace workflows?
Needle
@swati_paliwal Thanks! Great question. We're GDPR compliant as we scale into more enterprise deals. For API rate limits, workflows run server-side and we handle retries and throttling automatically so you don't hit issues on high-volume runs. You can also use loop and wait nodes, to avoid this. If you're looking at a specific use case, happy to chat more about what we can support.

Big fan of the team & the product, you guys are really on to something BIG!!!
Whats the vision for the company 5 years from now?
Needle
@daniel_karim1 Appreciate your comment! We believe, that everyone becomes a builder. So people who have deep insights into processes and operations do not need to ask their tech team anymore to build it, but can just themselves describe the problem and process and the agent builds it for them.
@daniel_karim1 Hey Daniel, I recently joined Needle. I had 2 startups previously and exited one. Completely agree. Needle is onto something BIG. Very exciting to be on this journey and thank you for all the support :)
Needle
@daniel_karim1 Thank you very much for the support! Our aim is to enable everyone to automate almost anything as easy as possible without requiring technical expertise.

Impressive stuff, @jan_heimes ! What is the most popular workflow on your platform? What is the most surprising you found so far?
Needle
@pavelk2
Most popular ones are data transfer workflows, like reading Gmail attachments and sorting them into the right Drive folder automatically or similar e.g. Notion, Drive, Sharepoint, Airtable. Scraping LinkedIn or Instagram leads and pushing them to Google Sheets is also huge. Same with scraping competitor data from the web and turning it into reports. I always say it's like Lego, the limit is your imagination.

@jan_heimes That's the only way!

@dan_ttf Yeah, hard work beats talent. If you have both... even better.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m Onur, co-founder at Needle.
I’ve seen people struggle to create the automations they need. Existing automation platforms not only have a steep learning curve, but also require complex setup and configuration.
In the end, people spend hours just to set up a basic workflow that:
is not production-ready
does not cover important cases
is fragile and breaks frequently
It’s 2026, and this kind of effort is obsolete. We made it a pleasant and fun experience that I’m sure you’ll all enjoy: vibe-automation. The cousin of vibe-coding 🤓
The Needle builder agent is your automation expert. It stitches nodes together in real time, tests the workflow, and ships.
Our mission is to empower everyone to create their own smart solutions with AI agents. Give it a spin, Needle has a generous free plan. Curious to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Onur and the Needlers
Needle
@oeken Such an exciting journey together with you!
Needle
@jan_heimes Likewise!

@mauricevv @jan_heimes Awesome work guys

I've built automations with what is considered 'classic' - Zapier, Make and others. And Needle is just another league. That is such a quality of life upgrade!
I highly recommend it to everyone out there considering whether or not to try.
@dmitrysereda thanks so much for the kind words Dmitry. Love what you are doing at Postproxy and love the Needle integration :)
