What it does
Lindy calls itself an AI employee for a whole team. It connects to your tools (it lists 1,500+ integrations, including Gmail and Google Calendar) and does work such as answering leads, building client reports and chasing overdue invoices.
You can message it in Slack (a team Lindy that anyone can @mention), text it over iMessage or SMS (your personal Lindy, which knows your email, calendar and meetings), call it, or use its Chrome extension and web app.
It can run routines on a schedule, take meeting notes, handle phone calls, and, where an app has no integration, drive a web browser the way a person would (computer use).
It keeps a memory you can see and edit, and learns from your calls, emails and corrections.

Who it's for
- Small teams that work in Slack
- Business owners who want follow-ups, reports and inbox work done across many apps
- People who want to text a work assistant from their phone
Where it struggles
- Pricing is in credits, and a job can use anything from 2 to 2,500 credits, so the monthly cost is hard to predict.
- When the credit pool runs out, Lindy pauses the work until the next cycle or an admin tops up.
- The free credits last only 7 days, and direct sign-ups are billed right away after that (only Slack invitees get a 7-day seat trial).
- Its pages disagree on plan names: the pricing page lists Free, Team and Enterprise, while its docs and home page mention Plus, Pro and Max (and say computer use is on Pro and higher).
- It is built for teams and work tasks; Microsoft Teams support is listed as coming soon.
