Try it
I want to build a customer support agent using Lindy AI. My business context is [replaceable: e.g., SaaS startup]. I will provide my support email [replaceable: email address] and Slack workspace [replaceable: workspace URL]. Please guide me through creating an agent with the prompt: 'Monitor my support inbox and answer questions using a knowledge base. If you do not know the answer, escalate via Slack DM.' First, perform a dry run with one sample email [replaceable: sample email text] and show me the drafted response and escalation logic before connecting any live accounts. Do not publish or connect real integrations until I confirm the sample output is correct. If inputs are missing, ask for them.
