- Needle's widget indexes your entire site content and answers detailed product/service questions instantly

Why Most Websites Lose Leads
Most websites are digital brochures. Visitors land, skim a few pages, and leave—without ever engaging. The average B2B website converts just 2–3% of visitors. The rest? Gone forever.
The problem isn't traffic. It's that static pages can't answer the specific questions every visitor has. Contact forms create friction. "Book a demo" buttons feel like a commitment. And traditional chatbots with scripted flows frustrate more than they help.
Traditional Chatbots vs. AI Website Assistants
| Capability | Traditional Chatbot | AI Assistant (Needle) |
|---|---|---|
| Conversation style | Scripted decision trees | Free-form natural language |
| Knowledge depth | Pre-written FAQ answers only | Full site content + docs indexed |
| Lead qualification | Rigid form fields | Natural follow-up questions |
| CRM integration | Manual export or basic webhook | Auto-create contacts with full context |
| Setup time | Days–weeks (flow building) | <30 minutes (index + embed) |
| Conversion lift | ~10–20% over forms | 3–5x over forms |
How It Works: 5 Steps to a Smart Sales Assistant
- Index your content — Upload product pages, pricing docs, case studies, and FAQs into a Needle collection. The AI learns your entire offering in minutes.
- Configure the chat personality — Set the tone, qualification criteria, and escalation rules. Define what makes a prospect "high intent" (e.g., asks about pricing, mentions a timeline, or names a competitor).
- Embed the widget — Drop a single script tag into your site. The widget loads in under 200ms and works on any page—no code changes needed.
- Connect your CRM — Qualified leads automatically create contacts in HubSpot, Salesforce, or your CRM of choice—with the full conversation attached.
- Book meetings on high intent — When the assistant detects buying signals, it offers a Calendly link or inline scheduling. No form, no friction.
