About Needle

Needle provides an outbound engine designed to work with agents, enabling teams to find high-quality leads and run outreach campaigns within minutes. It integrates with existing agent workflows and supports multiple channels, aiming to improve response quality and engagement rather than blasting broad lists. The product emphasizes safety, guardrails, and context-aware messaging to reduce wasted effort and protect accounts.

It treats outbound as an engine that operates with an agent, rather than as a standalone spray-and-pray solution. The company highlights a focus on quality leads, personalized messaging, and a healthier approach to account health when scaling outbound activities.

The platform markets multi-channel outreach across LinkedIn, Instagram, and email, with plans that scale from individual users to large teams. It emphasizes lead list building from connected accounts, and the ability to automate outreach while maintaining guardrails and warm-up schedules for sending. It also notes the availability of a free trial and a demo option to start using Needle.

Needle documents plans, platforms, integrations, and limits across its pricing page and docs, including MCP integration and the channels supported, and mentions future channels like WhatsApp and SMS. The site discusses lead list building, connected accounts, and enterprise custom arrangements.

Your agent drafts from the lead profile, the signals that made them match your ICP and your own past conversations with them. You review the angle once per segment; Needle applies it per lead.
