What is Lindy?

Lindy takes a different approach to automation than the workflow platforms. Instead of drawing a sequence of steps, you describe in plain language what an assistant should do — monitor this inbox, qualify these leads against these criteria, book meetings when someone asks — and Lindy assembles the agent behind it.

Each assistant is called a Lindy and works across connected services: email, calendar, CRM, meeting notes. The premise is that a lot of recurring office work is not a clean if-this-then-that rule but a judgement call, and that a language model can make that call well enough to be useful.

That premise is also the limitation. An agent that decides is harder to predict than a workflow that executes, and where the rules are unambiguous, a conventional automation tool is both cheaper and more reliable. Lindy earns its place where the decision itself is the work.

How Lindy Works

How It Works

You describe a task in plain language and connect the services the assistant needs. Lindy translates that into an agent with triggers, tools and instructions, which you can then refine — adjusting the prompt, adding conditions, restricting which tools it may use. Agents run on their own once a trigger fires, such as an incoming email or a calendar event. Billing runs on credits consumed per user, which correspond roughly to the language model work involved.

Who Should Use It

Lindy fits roles where recurring work involves judgement rather than fixed rules: sales teams qualifying inbound leads against soft criteria, founders whose inbox needs triage, teams handling scheduling that involves more than finding a free slot. It suits people who would describe the task to a new assistant in a sentence rather than draw it as a flowchart.

Benefits

Setting up an agent is genuinely faster than building an equivalent workflow, because the description is the configuration. Agents handle variation that would require many branches in a conventional tool. Email and calendar integration is deep rather than superficial, and the meeting-notes capability is strong enough to replace a separate tool.

Limitations

Per-user billing on top of credit consumption makes Lindy one of the more expensive options as a team grows, and predicting credit use is difficult. An agent that makes judgement calls will occasionally make the wrong one, which means supervision — and for tasks with unambiguous rules, a conventional automation tool is both cheaper and more predictable. The integration catalogue is narrow compared with the general-purpose platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Lindy?
A Lindy is an AI assistant configured for a specific recurring task — triaging an inbox, qualifying leads, scheduling meetings. You describe what it should do in plain language and connect the services it needs.
How is Lindy different from Zapier?
Zapier executes fixed rules; Lindy makes judgement calls. Where the task is if-this-then-that, Zapier is cheaper and more predictable. Where the task requires assessing something, Lindy is the better fit.
How much does Lindy cost?
Plans start at $29.99 per user per month with 3,000 credits, rising to $199.99 per user for 35,000 credits. Note that billing is per user, so cost scales with team size as well as usage.
Do Lindy agents need supervision?
Yes, particularly at first. An agent that decides will occasionally decide wrongly, so reviewing its output before it acts on anything consequential is the sensible default.
