- What they did
- This is a review, from a competitor's blog, of Lindy as an assistant you text over iMessage or SMS. You connect Gmail or Outlook. It triages and labels the inbox on its own and drafts replies that wait for your approval. By text it moves meetings, handles voice notes, and can schedule from a screenshot of someone's availability.
- How it went
- Reviewers praise easy setup, inbox triage and 1:1 rescheduling; one reports saving 5–7 hours a week. Others report invites moved to a hidden folder, an email marked sent that never arrived, and weak multi-party scheduling.
- Worth knowing
- Plans start at $29.99/month, usage is credit-metered with unpublished quotas, and individual tiers get only help-center support, so supervise sends and watch credit burn.
Try it yourself with Lindy
Set up a text-message assistant that manages my calendar and tasks from [iMessage or SMS]. It should reschedule meetings when I ask, and add events from screenshots I send. Before it sends any email or invite on my behalf, have it show me the exact message and wait for my OK, then confirm back what it did.
