Introducing Lindy 2.0 - The FIRST True AI-First Automation Platform

Today, I question the role of ChatGPT as a true AI assistant and introduce you to Lindy, a more advanced AI automation platform. Unlike ChatGPT, Lindy can perform custom-tailored automated tasks, saving time and enhancing productivity without constant user prompts. In this episode, I'll give an in-depth tutorial on how to use Lindy's flow editor, create AI agents, and build versatile tools like a calendar management bot and an AI news scraper. Plus, we'll explore Lindy's flexible integration with various apps and services, making it an outstanding choice for both personal and business automation. I also touch on Lindy's pricing structure and how to optimize it for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Join me as we dive into the future of AI automation!

*Hey folks! Some After Posting Info For You!*
Second - Apparently according to some users Zapier has a pretty competitive workflow that utilizes AI, I'm going to check it out but for those experienced, how does it compare? Zapier inherently wasn't designed to be AI first so how have they navigated this challenge? Would love to hear your thoughts!!!

I’ve seen a couple “agents” websites like this, but you’re the first I’ve seen slowly & clearly explain how to use it. Thanks.
Everyone else goes too fast, or doesn’t explain simply.

[windfisch]

So this is basically LangGraph with a UI and lots of pre-configured tools. Will definitely try it.

[elyakimlev]

It drives me crazy that you don't use punctuation marks in your prompts. That's bound to decease the AI's performance by at least 10%. If you didn't read your prompts out loud with clear intonation, even humans would sometimes struggle to understand what you mean exactly.

[rijnhartman]

This has so much potential but the 'sign up for free' button takes me straight to asking for a payment. Trash if they don't have a free option

[amj]

The biggest problem with tools like this is, you will become dependent on it and just trust it is doing its job correctly.
It will have hallucination problems and it will screw something up when you least expect it.

I was keen to try this but was I put off by the free trial offer which requires you to agree to auto subscription after 7 days. No thanks.

I love the character in the background wearing a quest 3 headset and the neon lights!

Great vids Matt. I dont comment but been following for u first the past 2 years. I watch with the kids.

[yetanchenko]

Hey I left a hate comment about you / personal attack levied against you on a past video. It was about your description laziness. You actually made the change, I'm here to commend you and will concede to saying my words were unnecessarily harsh.

I clicked because of the thumbnail. Not going to watch, just here to say the above and that Lindy is an unbelievably delightful name for a future AI assistant.

[jollenjollenjollen]

Shortwave for calendar management is awesome.

[NotThatVinny]

I wouldn't want it to monitor e-mail considering the recent instruction injections hack.

Who else thought of the Triple Lindy Dive?

[KCMNJL]

A decent effort to bring another agentic workflow product to the table, but I honestly think the API exposure Flowise now offers, will enable dynamic workflow construction using Instruct models. This will almost certainly dismiss much of the manual legwork still inherent in these no/low code platforms.

[andrewsilber]

If Lindys (Lindies?) are stored as JSON or other text blocks they they should fine tune an LLM to actually create Lindy graphs for you in text based on a prompt. Then you could edit them visually as you need. That would certainly kick up its utility quite a bit, since looking at that game Lindy graph he was trying to make seems like a lot of manual work. Lindy 3.0?

[ScottLahteine]

That looks very cool. Too bad the costs are so high right now. I need to train a chatbot with information to make it a more focused expert on my open source project so it can answer tricky questions and walk users through troubleshooting. As long as I can get users to support the cost without charging them a dollar per question through a pay wall, it could serve our purposes. Maybe there’s some way that paying users of an AI service could indirectly subsidize the free tier’s limited usage per day…. And of course it needs to be accessible from our Discord, if possible, and that “webhooks” plugin could be just the thing. Much to explore and contemplate!

What do you mean you cannot do it with chatgpt? With GPTs you can add any skills you want, including calendars, emails and whatever. I did use it, for example I have a GPT, which can summarize my thoughts, save them to my database, search previous summaries, edit them, save again etc. You probably just don't know how to use it, but yes, GPT can do all of it via API. It just doesn't have this beautiful flow editor, you need to write all the skills in json.

What I would like is to have an accounting agent who records my transactions and sets up the correct accounts for those transactions, so I can know all those accounting things but without the tedious work of capturing the data and (obviously) having it handled unofficially, just to have personal control of my finances. I don't know how to implement it, that's the thing. I imagine something like the Cyberpunk transaction system, something that instantly records your outcomes and orders the transaction in the right position when you use your paypal or credit card or whatever. I guess cash would be the only thing that I would have to record manually, at least 'till we can have the IA with us anywhere like in the movie Her.

[Tam-dk]

Actually I have a question, do I need to have paid subscriptions to ChatGPT and/or Claude to use those models or is Lindy on-charging the chat usage / API calls in some way (apart from the Lindy subscription, I mean)?

16:15 Slack, Discord, Docs. What's up with all the #bloatware / #spyware? Has nobody heard of humble IRC and text files these days?
