Lindy AI is a no-code agent builder designed for business professionals who need intelligent automation without engineering resources. Launched in 2023, Lindy positions itself as your AI chief of staff — a platform where you can spin up AI agents that handle email, calendars, CRM updates, customer queries, and internal workflows in minutes.
The core promise: describe what you want the agent to do in plain English, connect your tools via OAuth integrations, and Lindy handles the orchestration. No prompt engineering, no YAML configs, no deployment pipelines.
Key Features#
Natural Language Agent Creation Lindy agents are configured through conversational instructions. You tell Lindy what triggers the agent (a new email, a calendar invite, a form submission), what it should do, and what the outputs look like. The interface guides you through edge cases and refinements without any code.
Broad Integration Library Lindy connects natively to Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoom, and 50+ other business tools. Integrations are authenticated via OAuth, meaning you don't need to expose API keys or write custom connectors.
Memory and Context Retention Unlike simple automation tools, Lindy agents maintain memory across interactions. An email triage agent remembers that a specific contact is a VIP. A scheduling agent knows your preferences from previous bookings. This context layer is what separates Lindy from rule-based tools like Zapier.
Multi-Step Workflows A single Lindy agent can handle multi-step tasks: receive an email, look up the sender in your CRM, draft a personalized response, schedule a follow-up task, and log the interaction — all in a single automated flow.
Human-in-the-Loop Controls For higher-stakes actions, Lindy supports approval gates where the agent surfaces a proposed action for human review before executing. This is critical for customer-facing communications and financial operations.
Pricing#
Lindy AI uses a consumption-based pricing model tied to "Lindy runs" (agent task executions):
- Free: ~50 runs/month, access to core integrations, single agent
- Starter (~$49/month): 500 runs/month, unlimited agents, priority queue
- Pro (~$149/month): 2,000 runs/month, advanced integrations, team sharing
- Business (~$399/month): 10,000 runs/month, SSO, audit logs, dedicated support
- Enterprise: Custom pricing for large teams with SLA requirements
Pricing was last confirmed in early 2026; check lindy.ai for current rates as the product updates frequently.
Who It's For#
Lindy AI is the right fit for:
- Solopreneurs and founders who want to automate personal admin (email, scheduling, CRM) without hiring
- Small business owners building lightweight customer support or lead management automation
- Operations managers at 10–200 person companies who need workflow automation without IT involvement
- Sales professionals automating prospect research, follow-up sequences, and CRM hygiene
It is not the right fit for teams that need fine-grained control over agent reasoning, complex multi-agent orchestration, or heavily regulated environments that require on-premise deployment.
Strengths#
Fastest time-to-value for non-technical users. You can have a working email triage agent running in under 30 minutes with no prior AI experience.
Strong integration depth. Most no-code tools offer shallow integrations. Lindy's native connectors go deep — reading email threads, understanding calendar context, updating specific CRM fields.
Practical memory implementation. The memory system works well for business use cases without requiring users to understand vector databases or RAG pipelines.
Sensible defaults. Lindy's templates and guided setup reduce the configuration burden. You're not starting from a blank canvas.
Limitations#
Usage caps can become expensive at scale. Heavy users generating thousands of agent runs per month will find costs climb quickly. At that volume, custom-built solutions may be more economical.
Limited customization for complex reasoning. Lindy's agent logic is opinionated. Teams needing agents that branch across 10+ conditional paths, call custom APIs, or require precise output formatting may hit the ceiling of what natural language configuration can express.
No on-premise or private cloud option. All data flows through Lindy's cloud infrastructure. Organizations with strict data residency requirements should evaluate this carefully before connecting sensitive data sources.
