Pulled the trigger today and switched 100% of Lindy traffic to DeepSeek v4, churning from Anthropic models.
Saves us millions of $ and we're actually seeing an *increase* in performance on many core use cases. Transformative for the business.
We just shipped the most requested feature in Lindy's history!
Your work email and personal email no longer have to compete for Lindy's attention. We now connect to every email account you have.
Everything gets triaged, drafted, and scheduled in a single iMessage thread with your Lindy Assistant. Works with Gmail and Outlook.
"I change executive assistants on average every year."
@Altimor on a decade of building the perfect EA.
All the touches of magic and delight in Lindy are the workflows Flo has been iterating on over 10 years with his executive assistants.
i accidentally discovered the craziest ai hack on a flight!
airlines: free imessage, but internet costs $30.
however i had @getlindy connected to messages.
so i asked it for sports scores, news articles, and damn!
it replied through imessage with everything.
the airline thought i was texting lol.
i was browsing the internet for free
6 hours. $0.
try it on your next flight. did you know of this usecase @Altimor
how to turn iMessage into an AI executive assistant
1. give lindy your phone number and google account. two steps. that's the entire setup.
2. wake up to a daily brief. your meetings, the weather, 63 emails triaged overnight, replies already drafted. you barely open gmail anymore.
3. get meeting prep 15 minutes before every call. who you're meeting, what you talked about last time, what they need from you.
4. message teammates mid-meeting without leaving the call. you say it out loud. lindy sends the slack, creates the google doc, notifies the team.
5. send a screenshot of anything and it acts on it. party invite. invoice. voice note. one message and it handles it.
6. update your CRM after every call automatically. tell it once. done forever.
7. ask it anything about your past meetings and emails. "what did that company say they needed?" it knows. your inbox is its memory.
8. let it catch the stuff you'd miss. "your dinner reservation is at a restaurant closed on tuesdays. want me to move it?"
the best executive assistants don't wait to be asked because they just handle it.
that's what kinda @getlindy feels like. not sure why more people aren't talking about products like these
i liked it so much i invested in the biz.
this is for people who find openclaw daunting and dont want to deal with the security issues
episode is live on @startupideaspod (full breakdown there)

Unless you live under a rock, you probably ping pong between Claude, Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and Notion every weekday.
Every task asks you to context-switch (open a tab, switch an app). There's always a beat of "ok let me go do this thing now."
We put Lindy in iMessage and noticed how:
1/ the friction dropped to almost nothing. Lindy existed in the same place where people text their spouse about picking up the kids. Asking it to send an email felt like replying to a text.
2/ people started using it in gaps they'd never use a traditional AI tool. Waiting in line, sitting in an Uber, walking between meetings. Moments where you'd never open a laptop.
We put our agents on a leash because it buys us reliability.
At some point the model outgrows the need for it, and all the leash is doing is suppressing capability.
@Altimor walked through this with Calvin on PDI. Link in comments.
