How I use Lindy AI to run my life

**Greg Isenberg** (0:00)
I think there's a lot of people who set up things like OpenClaw, but are like, I just want to use iMessage, I just want something secure, and I don't want it to do everything for me. And so there's a product called Lindy AI Assistant. Basically, anyone can have an executive assistant powered by AI that's gonna be proactive in terms of reaching out to people, selling for you, drafting emails in your tone, calendaring and more. I heard about it, I invested in the company, and I had the founder come on and show us why this is an OpenClaw killer when it comes to an executive assistant. This episode is a complete breakdown of how to use the product, why to use the product, and why I find it interesting. And I think that if I find it interesting, you might find it interesting too. Enjoy the episode. I beg Flo to come back on the pod. He has a really, really big product update, a huge new product from Lindy. Flo, by the end of this episode, what are people going to learn?

**Flo** (1:13)
They're going to learn how to set up their own AI executive assistant in two minutes. That starts to learn about them, connect to their tools, and take more and more work out of their plate to save them time.

**Greg Isenberg** (1:24)
Okay, I mean, I'm intrigued. I'd love to learn more.

**Flo** (1:27)
Yeah, well, we started, I think, I've been on the pod before. By the way, thank you so much for having me again. I've been on the pod before with our workflow product. And so what we learned is the main thing people did with the workflow product was building basically AI executive assistant-like workflows, like meeting management workflows, calendar management workflows. And so we were like, why don't we just productize that and package it up in its own product that we called Lindy Assistant? So basically what Lindy Assistant is, it's an AI assistant that lives on iMessage. That's really important. Lives on iMessage, connects to your email, your calendar, your notion, your Google Docs, like all the applications you use, and starts taking work off your plate proactively. It doesn't wait until you ping it. It just proactively observes stuff and goes, like, hey, opportunity for you to save time here, Greg. I think perhaps the easiest way to explain it is for me to share my screen. How does that sound?

**Greg Isenberg** (2:27)
Perfect.

**Flo** (2:28)
Yeah. This is my iPhone screen. This was my day yesterday. So this is like real data. This is how Lindy starts the day. And by the way, this comes out of the box, which is also another really important attribute of this new product, which is it's very opinionated. Like it's not an everything machine. It's not like a blank page where you have to figure out the workflows and the things you want it to do for you. It just comes out of the box and starts to do things for you. So morning. Hey, morning. Here's your Tuesday. San Francisco. It's 62 degrees Fahrenheit today. These are your meetings on your book. Inbox. I've already triaged 63 emails that arrived overnight, and I have drafted four replies. This right here is one of my favorite things. Like I barely open Gmail anymore.
Sometimes the replies, I feel like I have bad memory because I open Gmail and I see a reply that's pre-drafted, and I'm like, I don't remember drafting that. It's just because Lindy drafted it. Then she's like, yo, a few things. This happened yesterday. It was really good. It's like, hey, your dinner tonight is at Gary Danko, but it's closed on Tuesdays. Do you want to move the invite to make comic seafood, which is two minutes away? And Joshua is asking if you can meet in two hours. Your calendar is free. Do you want me to say yes?

**Greg Isenberg** (3:42)
Can I just react to this real quick? When I'm reading this, it really does feel like a human being talking.

**Flo** (3:48)
Yes. We put so much attention to that, like the lowercase, the tones. Right here, you can see it. I'm like, oh, fuck yeah, please move the calendar invite if the restaurant is closed. And look, it's cracking a joke. It's like, haha, yeah, we'd have sucked to show up at an empty restaurant. Sometimes it's funny because when it fucks up, it swears. You know, like it's profane. So like it says, I'm like, hey, you fucked up here. I don't want you to do this. It's like, oh shit. It's like, oh shit, you're right. You know, like it actually says shit, which in a funny way actually takes the edge off of the fuck up.
