What is Needle 2.0?

Needle 2.0 is an AI-powered workflow automation platform that lets you build, test, and ship automations by simply describing what you need to a builder agent. Instead of manually configuring nodes or writing code, you watch the agent construct your workflow in real-time, hands-free. The platform also introduces a new way to earn passive income by submitting your workflows for others to use.

Who it's for

• Solo builders and freelancers who want to automate repetitive tasks without learning complex automation tools or writing code
• Fast-growing startups that need to quickly connect data sources, enrich leads, and move information between apps like Notion, Google Maps, and CRMs
• Scaling companies that require robust knowledge base search across hundreds of documents, with enterprise-grade security and compliance

Key features

Builder agent

The core of Needle 2.0 is a builder agent that follows your natural language instructions. You tell it what you want automated, and it builds, tests, and ships the workflow while you watch. No node-by-node configuration or automation expertise required.

Collections for knowledge search

Needle Collections handle semantic and structured search over knowledge bases of any size, overcoming the limitations of simple "chat with documents" approaches that break down beyond 50 documents. Advanced processing pipelines extract text from images, tables, charts, and multi-column layouts.

Passive income for builders

You can create useful automations and submit them as templates through the Partner Hub. Every time someone runs your workflow, you earn passive income. The submission process involves filling in your profile, creating a workflow, and submitting it for review — typically listed within the same day.

Flexible model access and security

Needle provides access to the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, including GPT-5.4, Opus, and Gemini 3.1 Pro. You can bring your own API key to leverage existing credits. Enterprise security includes AES 256 encryption, SOC 2 compliance, regular penetration testing, and single tenant architecture.

What stands out

"It’s 2026; just vibe-automate it."

This one-liner captures Needle 2.0's philosophy: automation should feel effortless, not like engineering. The builder agent removes the friction of traditional workflow tools by letting you describe what you want and watching it come together in real-time. Combined with the passive income model for workflow creators, Needle turns automation from a chore into a creative and potentially profitable activity.
