“The ultimate AI executive assistant” — the vendor’s own words

The easiest on-ramp for SMB email, meeting and back-office agents — real evals and 2,500+ integrations, but zero MCP support and a default model that follows Lindy's cost curve, not yours.

Best for: Solo operators and small teams who want one agent running inbox triage, scheduling, meeting notes and follow-ups in an afternoon — not builders who need MCP, model pinning or complex branching logic.

Strengths

Fastest path from plain-language description to a working agent on email, calendar and meetings: Agent Builder, 2,500+ integrations, hybrid-search knowledge bases, persistent memory, human-in-the-loop gates, offline evals and per-step cost traces. Voice agents, iMessage/SMS delegation and cloud computer use ship in the same subscription. Multi-agent messaging and team deployment are functional.

Honest dings

No MCP support at all in 07/2026 — an agent platform without the dominant agent protocol. The default model was swapped to DeepSeek v4 Flash in 06/2026 to save ~90% on inference; CEO says AI costs exceeded payroll, so expect the default brain to track Lindy's margins. Model choice is paywalled to Pro (~€92/mo). Credits don't roll over, and independent reviews consistently flag gaps once workflows get unusual or integration needs leave the mainstream.

Prices and details change — this passport is re-verified at least quarterly.
