Description
Lindy is an AI assistant that proactively manages inbox, meetings, and calendar work through text messaging rather than a chat window. It drafts emails, schedules meetings, takes meeting notes, and handles follow-ups, connecting to over 100 integrations including Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, and Notion. Lindy learns a user’s writing style and priorities over time, drafting replies for review rather than sending messages without approval. Every plan is priced per person rather than per task, with usage scaling by plan tier: Plus covers up to 2 inboxes, Pro adds 3x the usage plus computer use and model selection across 3 inboxes, and Max covers 5 inboxes at 7x Plus’s usage. There is no free plan, only a 7-day free trial with full Plus features and no credit card required. Enterprise adds HIPAA compliance, SSO, SCIM provisioning, and dedicated onboarding. It suits professionals, founders, and sales teams who want an always-available assistant reachable from any phone rather than a separate app to open.
Key Features
- Text-based interface — chat with Lindy over iMessage or standard SMS from any device.
- Inbox and calendar management — drafts emails, schedules meetings, and handles follow-ups.
- Meeting notes and prep — records, summarizes, and prepares briefings for upcoming meetings.
- Computer use — Lindy can operate a browser or app interface directly (Pro and Max).
- Model selection — choose which underlying AI model powers Lindy’s responses (Pro and Max).
- 100+ integrations — connects to Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, and more.
- Approval-based sending — every drafted email or message waits for user review before it sends.
How It Works
Setup takes about 60 seconds: sign up for the 7-day free trial, connect a phone number, and Lindy sends a first text. From there, a user texts Lindy the way they would a human assistant, asking it to draft a reply, schedule a meeting, or summarize a document, and Lindy responds over iMessage or SMS. Connected inboxes and calendars let Lindy act with context, drafting emails in the user’s own writing style as it observes more messages over time, and every draft waits for explicit approval before sending. Pro and Max plans add computer use, where Lindy can operate a browser or app interface directly, and let a user pick which underlying AI model powers their assistant. Enterprise customers get shared usage pools, HIPAA-compliant handling, SSO and SCIM provisioning, and a dedicated onboarding team.
Technical Architecture & Overview
- Core Engine: Not a single model; Pro and Max plans let users pick which underlying AI model powers Lindy’s responses, per Lindy’s own pricing page.
- Deployment: Text-first via iMessage (iOS) or standard SMS (any device); a web app and Lindy’s own App Builder are also available.
- API Surface: No public developer API documented on the pricing page; integrations run through Lindy’s own 100+ connector library rather than a general-purpose API.
- Known Limits: No flat free plan, only a 7-day trial; “standard usage” quotas on Plus, Pro, and Max are not published as fixed numbers, so heavy users may need to monitor consumption directly in-app.
