Onur here, founder of Needle with @jan_heimes This is our 6th launch, and thank you to everyone who has followed our journey.
The problem: outbound today means juggling 5+ tools. You use one for lists, one for enrichment, one for sequences, one for LinkedIn, and you spend your evenings copy-pasting CSVs between them.
What we built: Needle is an outbound engine your AI agent can drive. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, then describe who you want to reach in one prompt:
“Find 50 Head of Sales at Series A SaaS companies in Berlin, enrich them, and start a LinkedIn sequence referencing their latest post.”
Needle then: 🔍 Finds leads from LinkedIn, Instagram and Google Maps ✨ Enriches them with the context your agent needs to actually personalize 📨 Reaches out on whichever channel they’re on, from your own connected accounts, with sane sending limits built in
Why agent-native? Your agent already knows your ICP, your docs and your voice. It was just missing the hands. We didn’t want to build yet another dashboard, so we built the infrastructure instead.
No AI slop. We help you use AI the right way: real context on every lead, and messages that sound like you wrote them yourself.
And it’s not an “AI SDR”. Needle makes your reps faster. It doesn’t pretend to replace them. Your creativity is your GTM, we make it fluid.
🎁 For the PH community: use code PH2026 for 50% off for 6 months, on top of the 7-day free trial. Create opportunities and win people. Right now, takes 5 minutes to run your first campaign. Whatever you're after - sales, partnerships, hiring, fundraising.
We’d love your toughest feedback. What’s the most painful part of your outbound stack right now? My team and I will be in the comments all day.
prompting claude to run outbound is usefull, no more tab juggling 🚀 how are u handling deliverabilty?
Congrats to Jan and the team on launching Needle on Product Hunt today! I genuinely believe outbound is one of the best ways for businesses to generate revenue in today's market. Huge congratulations! You're already at #3, and I hope you make it to #1 by the end of the day! 🚀
How flexible is Needle's ability to help me personalize my outreach based on potential pain points my prospect could be facing? I usually find being too generalized hurts my chances.
I work in Sales and have seen this tool being built in real time. Amazing idea, even better execution!
sending from your own connected accounts with built-in limits is a sensible choice for LinkedIn. are those limits set per account or per workspace?
Nice one on launch number six, Onur and team. Driving outbound from inside Claude makes sense to me. My worry is the agent pulling 50 "Head of Sales" who all left that job last quarter.
How fresh is the enrichment, and does it check before it sends from my own LinkedIn?
Looks really cool, just checked it out - best of luck with the PH launch day Needle Team !
Love the "hands for the agent" approach 👏 Question on the email side: do you check SPF/DKIM/DMARC on the connected domain before the agent starts sending? From what we see at Mailwarm, that's where most outbound campaigns die, way before the copy matters.
Sounds interesting. I'd love to know more about how you help with LinkedIn.
If someone replies on LinkedIn, will Needle automatically pause the email follow-ups as well?
Tested you ~6 months ago and it was amazing! I'd be happy to test your outbound engine, I'm quite experienced in this AI SDR field :) Could you share pls what metrics do you currently have - reply rate, meetings booked etc? Do you track it?
The human approval step Jan mentioned deserves a bit more space in the demo. I would want to see the selected people and actual messages together before a campaign starts.
Some of you know us from our earlier launches. We built workflow automation: Connect the tools, schedule the run.
Then we watched how people actually work now: They open Claude Code or Codex and just ask for the outcome.
So we stopped building another interface and built the hands instead. Needle plugs straight into your agent, and one prompt gets you researched leads and personal outreach live on LinkedIn or Instagram.
We've run our own outbound this way for a year. Smart sending limits and a human approval step are built into the core. Agent speed, without gambling your accounts.
We are here all day. Ask me anything about the MCP setup, how we run our own pipeline on it, or what's coming next. And if you find a limit, love to hear about it.

Who hunted Needle?
Needle was hunted by Rohan Chaubey. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
