Lindy AI: what the assistant does, what it costs and how to set it up

Lindy describes itself as an AI employee that completes work across your connected tools. It's one hosted assistant that acts as a personal executive assistant for each user and as a shared teammate in Slack. It handles inbox, calendar, meetings, research, reports and follow-ups, runs recurring work as routines, and waits for your approval before anything with outside impact. Here's what it does, how its credit pricing works, how to set it up, how approvals work, and how it compares with Relevance AI and Grok Bot.

What Lindy is

  • One assistant, not an agent builder: the docs describe one Lindy per workspace. It's marketed for many roles, such as paid ads, SEO and content, bookkeeping, recruiting and customer support.
  • Two ways to use it: privately, as your executive assistant through iMessage, email or Slack DMs, and as a shared teammate your team can @mention in Slack to research, write reports or update a CRM.
  • It learns: 40+ built-in skills plus your own, an editable memory, and Watch and Learn, where you show it a task once.
  • It repeats work as routines: each has a trigger (a schedule or an event), a prompt and a destination. Built-in routines cover daily briefs, email drafting and labeling, follow-up bumps, and meeting recording, prep and scheduling.
  • It picks a model per task, and you can choose the model yourself.
  • It's hosted: Lindy runs in the cloud and is made by Crivello Corp, doing business as Lindy.

How Lindy keeps you in control

  • Anything with outside impact waits for your approval, such as sending an email, updating a ticket, posting to another channel or publishing a doc.
  • Read-only lookups from approved sources don't need approval.
  • Admins can cap credits per seat, and only admins set up workspace routines.
  • When the credit pool runs out, Lindy pauses credit-using actions until the next cycle or a top-up.
  • Its memory is editable.

Lindy AI FAQ

What is Lindy AI?

A hosted AI assistant that works across your connected tools. It acts as a personal executive assistant for each user and as a shared teammate in Slack, handling inbox, calendar, meetings, research, reports and follow-ups, and it runs recurring work as routines.

How much does Lindy cost?

You can start with $50 in credits that last 7 days, with no credit card. After that, every active user in the workspace is billed, from $29.99 a month for 3,000 credits each, pooled across the team. Top-ups are $10 per 1,000 credits, and Enterprise pricing is custom.

Is Lindy one agent or many?

One. The docs describe one Lindy per workspace, and routines aren't a separate bot. It's marketed for many roles and learns through built-in and custom skills, memory and Watch and Learn, but separate agent personas aren't stated.

Is there a Lindy app?

You use Lindy through its web Home page, Slack, email, iMessage and SMS, phone calls and a Chrome extension in Gmail. The docs don't describe a desktop or mobile app; Microsoft Teams is listed as coming soon.

How do I sign up for Lindy?

Start with the free $50 in credits, which need no credit card, last 7 days and are one-time per teammate. After that, every active user takes a paid seat: teammates who join from Slack get a 7-day free trial, and direct sign-ups are billed right away.

Does Lindy act without asking?

Not for anything with outside impact: sending an email, updating a ticket, posting to another channel or publishing a doc waits for your approval. Read-only lookups from approved sources don't need approval.
