Lindy, founded in 2023, frames its product around a specific idea: instead of building an abstract "workflow," a user creates a named AI employee, handling email triage, meeting scheduling, or inbound call answering, that behaves more like delegating a task to a hire than configuring automation software.
A library of pre-built Lindy templates covers common roles directly, a sales outreach Lindy, a customer support Lindy, an executive assistant Lindy, each preconfigured for its job and customizable from there rather than built from an empty canvas every time. Multiple Lindys can also work together, handing tasks to each other the way employees on a team would.
There's no free plan: seats added through Slack get a 7-day free trial, and paid plans start at $29.99 per user a month. For someone who thinks in terms of delegating specific jobs to a specific assistant, rather than designing an abstract trigger-and-action flow, Lindy's AI-employee framing matches that mental model more directly than traditional workflow-builder language.
