Lindy

Key facts: Lindy builds AI assistants — called Lindies — that take on recurring tasks such as triaging email, scheduling meetings, qualifying leads and doing background research, then report back or act within guardrails you set. It offers templates for common jobs and a builder for custom assistants, aimed at founders and small teams drowning in admin.

Plans: Lindy is a paid product with a free trial and credit-based pricing; there is no permanent free plan. Trial credits are the way to test whether an assistant actually saves you time before committing.

Best for: founders, recruiters and small teams with repetitive inbox and scheduling work. Watch out: an assistant that emails on your behalf needs clear guardrails — what it may send, what it must ask about, and what it must never touch.
