Needle 2.0 - Vibe-automate workflows and earn passive income
by•
Just tell our builder agent what needs to be automated.
Watch it in real-time building, testing and shipping your workflow, hands-free.
It’s 2026; just vibe-automate it.
On top, we launched a new way to earn as an AI builder.
Just submit your workflow and start earning.

Sound amazing! How do you maanage version control?
Needle
@dennis_stech Good question. So we track every run of your workflow and version. So you can always see how past workflow runs executed or how past versions looked like. You can also roll back to any of these versions. Does that make sense to you, or is there a specific other version control feature that you had in mind?

The self-healing piece is what catches my attention most. Every automation platform can build workflows. Very few can maintain them when the underlying services change, which they always do. If the agent genuinely detects and fixes breakages without manual intervention, that's a much harder problem than the builder itself.
To answer Jan's questions directly: "earn from your workflows" lands immediately as a concept but I'd want to see one or two concrete examples of what a successful workflow earns per month before I believe it. The marketplace model only works if there's real buyer demand on the other side, and that's the part that needs proof early.
The first workflow I'd build and sell: automated brand audit. Scrape a company's public touchpoints, run them through a structured analysis, output a PDF report. I operate an AI branding platform, so the use case is very close to home, and it's exactly the kind of repeatable task someone would pay per run for rather than building it themselves.
Congrats on the launch, the vibe-automation framing is fun and the partner program is the genuinely interesting bet here.

@joao_seabra Thank you! The line between producers and consumers of the workflows is blurry because nearly everyone needs some kind of an automation and we make it easy enough to so anyone can create a workflow. So we all grow together using AI in smart fashion. I can't imagine a future where AI is not playing a key role. And with this model we are rewarding everyone involved in creating value.
Hey @Needle, congrats on your launch. I went through your page and I really like the delivery and messaging on your site. I have a question on the reward mechanics, it didn't landed for me. What's the portion of earnings that a creator should expect per run? does it vary in different cases/flows? Thanks and good luck!
@dingleberryjones great question!
In short: It depends.
Ultimately, we calculate the earnings based on the tokens that are consumed per workflow run.
@mauricevv Thanks, this was helpful!

The marketplace angle is what makes this interesting imo. Tons of no-code automation tools exist but nobody's really cracked letting builders actually earn from their workflows. That's a clever incentive to get high quality templates in the system.
How does the 'describe in plain English' part work under the hood? Is the AI generating the workflow logic from scratch each time or does it match against existing patterns?
Needle
@mihir_kanzariya I think so too. We'd like to put the creator in the spotlight and reward. It's 2026 and we're all now creators using AI and consumers of AI-powered solutions and content. Democratizing this exchange is our vision.
Secret sauce? Context, prompt and tool engineering. Needle agent mimics how we humans create workflows, i.e. not in a single shot but rather in iterations.
Needle
Very excited about this launch! 🚀 Can’t wait to see what people build with this!
Needle
@valentin_po Likewise! With this product we aim to unlock so much of creativity since now creating workflows is way much easier.
Hi guys. I saw you did AI automation hackathon in Berlin. Congrats on the launch! I'm curious shat is the benefits for using your tool compare to make.com and n8n?
Needle
@akovalevskyi Give it a spin and try the agent! Thousands of users have already seen it themselves. You can build workflows way faster and simpler, but still handle really complex automations when you need to.
Needle
@akovalevskyi Thank you for the comment. One of our main differences is that we try hard to let people build automations without hassle or a technical background and our builder agent is super powerful to make this happen. You tell the builder agent what you want in plain English; it builds the workflow, tests it, and iterates. No dragging nodes or wiring things by hand.
Use it for outreach!
How do you manage access control
Needle
@johnston_chen1 We have workspaces where you can invite and collaborate with others. So a workspace is like a a team.
Needle
@johnston_chen1 Needle so powerful for outreach with the use browser node.
Finally a RAG platform that doesn't make you fight the setup. Connected our Notion and Google Drive in minutes, and the search quality across docs is noticeably better than what I was getting elsewhere. The workflow automation on top is a nice bonus.
Needle
@janhecker Appreciate the comment! You can also integrate your collections into your workflows, in case haven't discovered that feature yet. What is your top use case for RAG? would be happy to hear more about what you are building.
Needle
@janhecker Love to read that comment, exactly what we built Needle for!
EditWithAva
congrats on the launch team! what are some of the most popular workflows, that work best for this platform?
Needle
@matthiasrossini Thanks! We see that lead generation from different sources (Instagram, Linkedin, other websites etc.) and outreach (Linkedin) are the most popular ones.
Needle
@matthiasrossini @oeken Outreach is a pretty popular and powerful use case indeed.

Good one. We have similar feature in our product, text-to-workflow, but on basic level, just to enable small automations. If no secret, how long did it take you to build it? We struggled a lot with hallucinations, and in general, AI playing dumb. The competition in this fields is wild though :)
Needle
@davitausberlin Competition is what makes it fun :) How long it took to build? I can't answer very well because we've improved iteratively. We've released first version of the workflow in October 2025 in our previous launch. However there're many details to get right until the UX starts shining.
Banyan AI Lite
@oeken As you say, Onur, if you think it's fun, then all good :) Got you, yeah, we also iterated quite a lot and then decided to niche down. Anyway, good luck and hey, #2!!
Needle
@davitausberlin Thanks for your words. Good luck to you as well!
