How I use Lindy AI to run my life

I sit down with Flo, founder of Lindy, to get a live demo of their new product, Lindy Assistant, an AI executive assistant that lives in iMessage and works proactively across email, calendar, Slack, Notion, and 100-plus other tools. Flo walks me through a real day of his own Lindy usage, showing how it drafts email replies, prepares meeting briefs, updates CRMs, and handles calendar changes without being asked. We compare Lindy to OpenClaw and Claude's ecosystem, talk pricing, edge-case power users, and where Lindy goes over the next five years.

Setup takes two minutes: provide a phone number and connect a Google account, and Lindy ingests existing email and tool data immediately. Lindy pre-drafts email replies, preps meeting briefs, updates CRMs after calls, flags billing issues, and reschedules dinners at closed restaurants — all without user initiation. The voice and tone of the assistant took extensive prompt engineering; the lowercase, casual register is intentional and difficult to achieve with current models. Lindy targets the "chief everything officer" — the overwhelmed founder or executive — rather than developers or power users who want a fully programmable agent. Pricing starts at $49/month for 90-plus percent of users; heavy users can exceed that and are prompted to upgrade.
