Personal AI-employee platform: agents are 'woken up' by time-based, chat-based or event-based triggers (Slack/email/calendar/Sheets/webhook), run multi-step workflows over 100+ integrations and pause for human approval on confirmation-toggled or draft-mode actions.
Description. Lindy lets users build named agents that run their inbox, meetings, calendar and ad-hoc work. The docs explicitly enumerate three trigger families (time-based, chat-based, event-based) including webhooks, scheduled timers, Slack-message-received, email-received, calendar-event-started and Sheets-row-added. Agents call documented skills (HTTP, computer-use, Lindy Phone, Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, etc.), and most actions with side effects expose a confirmation toggle that pauses the workflow and emails the owner for approval. A draft mode queues outputs (e.g. Gmail drafts) for review before sending.
Agent loop shape. Trigger-driven workflows. A trigger (time-based, chat-based or event-based) wakes the agent, which executes a sequence of skills/integrations. Actions with side effects can be guarded by a confirmation toggle that pauses execution and emails the owner; on approval the workflow continues. Draft modes (e.g. Gmail drafts) collect outputs for manual review. The Pro tier adds computer-use for browser-based tools. Approval and the confirmation toggle are first-class.
Primary use cases
- personal AI work assistant for inbox, meetings and calendar
- event-driven automations triggered by Slack/email/calendar/Sheets/webhook
- scheduled or recurring agent workflows via Timer skill
- approval-gated execution of sensitive multi-step actions
Key concepts
- Triggers → event-driven-agent (docs) — Time-based, chat-based and event-based events that wake an agent; multiple per agent allowed.
- Timer skill → scheduled-agent (docs) — Schedule workflows and add delays with precision timing controls.
- Skills → tool-use (docs) — Lindy's built-in tools (HTTP, computer-use, Lindy Phone, webhooks) plus integrations (Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, etc.).
- Human-in-the-loop confirmation → approval-queue (docs) — Per-action confirmation toggle pauses the workflow and emails the owner.
- Computer use → computer-use (docs) — Pro-tier capability letting Lindy operate browser-based tools.
Patterns this no-code implements —
- ★★Approval Queue
Confirmation toggle pauses on actions with side effects and emails the owner; draft mode queues Gmail outputs for review.
- ★★Event-Driven Agent
Triggers doc enumerates Slack/email/calendar/Sheets/webhook as event-based wake-ups.
- ★★Scheduled Agent
Time-based triggers (cron-like) and the Timer skill schedule workflows.
- ★★Tool Use
Built-in skills (HTTP request, computer-use, Lindy Phone, webhooks) and 100+ integrations.
- ★Computer Use
Pro tier explicitly adds computer-use over browser-based tools; documented skill page describes how the agent is given a Use Computer skill and a Computer that persists session state.
