Lindy
An AI executive assistant that reads your inbox, drafts replies in your own voice, books meetings, and writes up notes afterward — the admin work a human assistant would do, minus the human assistant's salary.

Description
Executive assistants save senior people hours a day by handling email, scheduling and meeting logistics — but a real human assistant costs a real salary, out of reach for most individual professionals. Lindy is an AI version of that role: it organizes your inbox, drafts replies that sound like you wrote them, schedules meetings, sits in on calls to take notes, and follows up with action items afterward.
Lindy is an AI executive assistant platform automating email inbox management, calendar/meeting scheduling, meeting pre-briefings and note-taking, and post-meeting recaps with action items. It integrates with Gmail and Outlook plus 100+ other apps, offers a chat interface over iMessage/SMS, learns the user's communication style over time, and at higher tiers adds 'computer use' capability and choice of underlying AI model. It targets busy professionals and executives, and markets itself with a comparison point of roughly $8,000/month for a human executive assistant.
💬 Our review
The short version: Lindy is worth it once email and scheduling admin genuinely eats hours of your week — the pitch of '$50-200/month versus $8,000/month for a human EA' only holds if you actually offload that much work to it.
The reply-drafting-in-your-voice feature is the make-or-break capability here: a scheduling bot is easy, but an assistant that sounds convincingly like you when replying to emails is a much harder problem, and it's the thing that determines whether you trust it enough to actually delegate. Meeting pre-briefings and automatic action-item recaps are genuinely useful add-ons beyond pure email/calendar management, closer to what a real EA provides day-to-day. The honest caveat: at $49.99-199.99/month depending on tier, it's meaningfully more expensive than general-purpose AI assistants that can also draft emails and summarize meetings (ChatGPT, Claude) for a fraction of the cost, though those require more manual setup and don't have the same persistent inbox/calendar integration; and any AI touching your inbox and calendar autonomously requires a trust ramp-up period where you're checking its output closely before letting it run more freely. For someone whose day is genuinely dominated by email and scheduling churn, the ROI case is real; for lighter admin loads, a cheaper general AI assistant plus manual scheduling may cover it.
