Lindy: Your First AI Employee
Deploy an AI agent that handles your inbox, calendar, and meetings in minutes.
Lesson Notes
Lindy is the easiest "AI employee" tool — you describe what you want your agent to do in plain English, connect your tools (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion), and Lindy runs autonomously. Unlike n8n or Make (which need you to define every step), Lindy uses AI to decide what actions to take based on your instructions. The key concept: Lindy agents have a "trigger" (new email, scheduled time, webhook), "instructions" (what you want it to do), and "tools" (the apps it can interact with). Start with one well-defined task before giving it broad permissions.
Your Challenge
+15 XPCreate a Lindy account. Set up a Lindy that monitors your Gmail for emails containing a specific keyword (e.g., "meeting request") and drafts a reply suggesting a time. Activate it and test with a real or dummy email. Describe what it did and what you would change.
