What is Lindy?
Lindy's not your run-of-the-mill AI tool; think of it more like a squad of digital assistants.
You won't need to mess with any coding - just tell Lindy what's on your to-do list using everyday language and boom, your custom AI crew jumps into action.
An example? Having a "Competitive Analyst" on your team, keeping an eye on the other players in your field, or a "Meeting Scheduler" who makes the nightmare of aligning calendars disappear.
You can even group these AI agents (each with its own template) into "Lindy societies", with each member collaborating smoothly to nail those complex tasks.
And, as your needs shift, your AI army reshapes to fit, scaling their skills in real-time.
Lindy is all about giving everyone the chance to leverage the power of AI, making your work life more productive and way less stressful, minus the big costs or tech headaches and expert-only knowledge.
How Lindy generates quality sales leads
Lindy reshapes the sales prospecting landscape not by adding to your pile of tools (we know those passwords are hard to remember) but by refining the entire process into something more intelligent and targeted.
It can help you sift through the digital expanse, identifying people and companies that don't just fit your customer profile but are primed to hear your pitch.
This direct approach to lead generation ensures you're not wasting time on cold leads but focusing on those with genuine potential.
Then, once Lindy spots these prospects, it doesn't stop at just making a list; it initiates the first contact, crafting interactions that feel less like a sales pitch and more like the beginning of a meaningful conversation.
Whether it's reaching out via email or LinkedIn, Lindy makes double sure that each touchpoint is personalized and impactful – which significantly ups your chances of getting a conversation going.
Then, after the legwork is done, it’s just up to you to seal the deal!
Lindy will summarize your meetings
We know a lot slips through the cracks during sales meetings. That’s why Lindy’s Meeting Summarizer will help you not miss a single action item.
After a sales call or meeting, the last thing you want is to spend hours parsing through notes to extract key points and next steps. Sometimes, it feels like going through the same meeting twice.

Here’s how it does it:
- Right after a meeting ends, Lindy processes the conversation, using its natural language skills to highlight the most important discussions, decisions made, and future action items. This means you can quickly review and distribute meeting outcomes without the boring manual effort of composing everything from scratch.
- Then, based on the meeting summary, Lindy suggests personalized follow-up actions for each attendee. Whether it’s sending over a detailed proposal to a potential client or scheduling another meeting with stakeholders, Lindy keeps the momentum alive.
- Over time, Lindy learns from each meeting, getting better at identifying the nuances of your sales process and the preferences of your clients. This means the summaries and suggested actions become more in tune with your goals, providing tailored insights that can drive your sales strategy.

Another big win for Lindy’s AI is acting like your personal booking assistant.
It scans both your calendar and those of your prospects to pinpoint the perfect times for meetings or calls, making sure no one's overbooked or double-booked (Or plain burnt-out).
Once it locks down a few viable slots, it shoots out calendar invites to your prospects. Then, they pick a time that suits them, and voilà, you've got a meeting set without the drudgery.
This means you're spending less time playing email tag and more time actually selling.
Also, if a prospect misses the invite or needs to reschedule, Lindy will send follow-up emails to get that meeting on the books.
And it won’t do it at 3 am either – it's clued into the best times for follow-ups and writes messages that get responses, thanks to its savvy understanding of what sticks.
