Lindy
an AI employee that works from Slack, email, iMessage, and meetings, plugs into 1,500+ integrations, and can drive a browser on a cloud computer
Who they are and what they are good at
Lindy describes itself as an AI employee. You talk to it where you already work, in Slack, email, iMessage, Gmail through a Chrome extension, or on a call. It aims to take whole jobs, not single tasks.
Computer use
When no integration exists, Lindy drives a browser on a cloud computer it runs. You can take control when it needs help, such as a login.
Skills and routines
Show Lindy a procedure once and it saves it as a skill for the team. Recurring work becomes a routine with a sentence.
Approvals
Actions that write or send can wait for your approval.
Security
SOC 2 Type II. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and HIPAA with a signed BAA.
Pricing
Per-user seats and a credit pool shared across the workspace. Plan credits reset each cycle; purchased top-ups carry over.
It is good at the work that lives in messages: inbox triage, meeting notes, CRM updates, scheduling, and follow-ups.
Where Lindy stops for messy back-office work
Lindy's computers live in Lindy's cloud. That suits public websites and SaaS. It is awkward for software that lives inside the office.
On-premises apps
A cloud computer is not your office PC. A payroll system installed on an office server is out of reach unless IT exposes it, which most IT teams will not do for a system of record.
Logins that belong to a person
On a cloud computer, someone signs in to each portal from outside the office, and the session is kept there. LaunchAI uses the employee's own session from the office network.
Exact rules
Skills and routines are plain-language instructions. An overtime rule or a bill-rate table is safer as a rule that runs without a model.
Credits meter the thinking
Every job draws on the shared pool. When it runs out, Lindy pauses credit-using actions until the next cycle unless an admin tops up.
LaunchAI works through the screen of any app, on the user's machine or an enrolled agent PC, in sessions that are already signed in. Calculations run as rules with no model call, and every action leaves a screenshot.

When to choose Lindy
- Inbox triage, with drafted replies that wait for you to send.
- Meeting notes filed to a shared library, with CRM updates and follow-ups.
- Scheduling, reminders, and research across the web and SaaS.
- A team that wants to delegate in Slack or iMessage without building anything.
When to choose LaunchAI
- A staffing firm downloads weekly timesheets from six client vendor-management portals, under the account manager's login, and keys them into a Windows payroll and billing system.
- Overtime and bill rates come from a rate table, with no model in the math.
- The payroll lead reviews every exception, with the timesheet beside the payroll screen, before payroll closes.
- The run happens Monday night on the office PC, whether or not anyone is at their desk.
Better together
Let Lindy run the conversation. It chases late timesheets by email and Slack and marks which clients are ready in a shared sheet. LaunchAI's scheduled run works those portals and the payroll system and leaves exceptions in its review queue. Lindy can nudge the payroll lead to clear them.
FAQ
Can Lindy's computer use reach our payroll system?
Only if the system is reachable from Lindy's cloud. A Windows app on an office server usually is not.
Does Lindy ask before it acts?
Actions that write or send can wait for your approval. LaunchAI's review step does the same anywhere in a workflow, with the source document on screen.
What happens when Lindy's credits run out?
Lindy pauses credit-using actions until credits reset at the next cycle. Admins can top up at any time, and top-ups carry over.
Can LaunchAI handle email and Slack too?
Yes. Lindy does it without occupying a desktop, right where your team already talks, which often makes it the better fit there.
No prompts. No babysitting. No Integrations.
