Overview
The One-Line Truth
Workflow
Lindy acts as a text-based AI assistant for individual operators, integrating with inbox, calendar, and meeting tools to handle coordination tasks like email triage and scheduling. The workflow involves connecting accounts, allowing Lindy to learn user patterns, and using a no-code agent builder for custom tasks like prospect research. Human involvement is critical as an approval gate; Lindy drafts responses and schedules, but nothing is sent or booked without explicit user confirmation via text.
Reported result
Actual outcomes vary by deployment. For Truemed, Lindy automated 36% of support volume and reduced cost per ticket by 67%. Blackbird reported saving 10-20 hours weekly on sales coordination. However, specific metrics for the 'prospect research' use case are not explicitly detailed in the source beyond general time savings. Users report friction with credit-based pricing and potential delays in browser automation tasks.

Try it
I am a [Sales Lead/Founder] at [Company Name]. I want to use Lindy to research prospects before pitching them. Please guide me through setting up a Lindy agent for this purpose. First, help me connect my [Gmail/Outlook] and [Calendar]. Then, draft a prompt for a Lindy agent that: 1) Takes a list of [Prospect Names/Companies] from [Source File/CRM], 2) Researches their recent news, LinkedIn activity, and potential pain points, 3) Generates a personalized email draft for each. Crucially, ensure the agent is configured to 'Draft Only' mode so nothing is sent without my approval. Provide a sample output for one prospect to verify quality before I run the full batch. If any steps are unclear or if I need to specify credit limits, ask me before proceeding.
