Who it is for
Founders and go-to-market teams looking into Needle's discovery product or wanting to reach the company.
Overview
What Needle does
The Needle platform exists to help founders and go-to-market staff find prospective customers in public discussion. It searches sites such as Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow, GitHub, and X, orders the threads it finds by sentiment and by how close the writer seems to buying, and sends digest alerts as new matches turn up.
The ChatGPT app is narrower than the platform behind it. Through the app, users can retrieve general business information about Needle such as its website and contact email address, and send a message to the Needle team.
Anyone expecting to run thread searches inside the chat should note that distinction. The search product and the app are not the same surface.
What stands out
The record is unusually direct that the app covers company information and contact rather than the search product it describes.

Where Needle is listed
Needle is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Noodle Seed has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Needle's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Noodle Seed, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
