Lindy takes a different route from the visual builders: instead of designing a flow, you give it work in Slack or email and save what it does as a skill the whole team can reuse. It ships with 40+ skills for research, data analysis, decks and dashboards, and routines handle repeat work such as a morning brief or a Friday report. Lindy also joins meetings, files recordings and notes in a shared library, drafts replies in your voice, and keeps its memory in plain files you can edit. It connects to 1,500+ apps and supports MCP. The Team plan bills every active user from $49.99 a month for 5,000 credits each, with credits pooled and top-ups at $10 per 1,000. That makes it pricier per head than Gumloop or MindStudio, and the $50 free credit lasts only 7 days. Compliance features such as a signed BAA, SSO and audit logs are Enterprise only.
Who it is for
