About Lindy
Lindy bets the whole product on the 'AI employee' — agent builder, computer-use autopilot, and an app builder.
Lindy is an AI-agent platform pursuing an explicit 'AI employee' thesis: agents you direct in natural language that can act across your tools. The last two major releases pushed hard on that — Lindy 3.0 reframed agent creation as vibe-coding and added an Autopilot that gives each agent its own cloud computer, and Lindy Build extended the platform into AI web-app creation. More recent entries are workflow quality-of-life (retries, task search, sharing, version renaming) layered on top of that foundation. Note the surfaced feed appears to stop in late 2025, so newer moves aren't visible here.
