1/ Announcing the new Lindy: the first platform letting you build a team of AI employees that work together to perform any task — 100x better, faster and cheaper than humans would.
Watch how I build a Lindy to track competitors in 30s:
2/ The real magic comes from Lindies working together to do something. It’s like an assembly line of AI employees.
Here, I get a Competitive Intel Manager Lindy to spin up one Competitive Analyst Lindy for each of my competitors:
3/ These “Societies of Lindies” can be of any arbitrary complexity. We even have a group of 4 Lindies building API integrations.
It feels surreal to see Lindies cheer each other for their hard work — or to have to threaten you’ll fire them so that they do their darn job.
4/ Lindies can work autonomously, and be “woken up” by triggers like a new email, a new ticket, a webhook being hit, etc…
Here, I set up my Competitive Intel Manager Lindy to wake up every month and send me a new report.
5/ Or you can give an email address to your Meeting Scheduling Lindy, so you can now cc her to your emails for her to schedule your meetings:
6/ Lindies continuously learn from their interactions with both you and other Lindies. Here, I give feedback to my Support Agent Lindy on how to best communicate with our customers:
7/ Lindies have many advantages vs. regular employees:
- 10x faster
- 10x cheaper
- Consistent: train your Lindies once and watch them consistently follow your instructions
- Available 24 / 7 / 365
- Infinitely more scalable: Lindies scale up and down elastically with your needs
8/ The future of business will come down to the ability to leverage this technology.
As it matures, we think it will unlock an unprecedented leveling of the playing field we’ve ever seen.
9/ You won’t be constrained by time, money, or team anymore.
You’ll be able to have an impact on same the scale as today’s biggest corporations — with just you, your laptop, and your Lindies.
10/ The new Lindy will be available soon. Find out more and sign up to the waitlist here: lindy.ai/blog/announcin…

Much of it is from the must-read “Who” by Geoff Smart, but here goes:
First, ask the person you’re doing the checks about what other people will say about them, including their “areas for improvement.” Ask for examples.
If at any point, the candidate mentions a conflict, double click on it like crazy.
What happened? Pay special attention to whether they are able to recognize merit in the other person’s position and represent it charitably, or just default to “they were such an idiot.”
If you go to the gym twice a week or more and still haven’t bought a Tonal — why?
Unaffiliated. This is just the best product I’ve bought in years — and I buy a lot of Apple products.
Takes the friction of working out down to zero.
And more than pays for itself, esp once you include the time savings from not having to commute to the gym.
Back of the envelope:
- if you work out 4 times a week
- and spend 15min fully loaded commuting, each way, incl packing and unpacking
- and make $100 / hr
- tonal saves you 100 * 15 * 2 / 60 * 51 * 4 = $10,200 per year
2/ On the operation side, as pointed out in the thread — acquisition costs are extremely high (esp on driver side), and the chicken and egg problem makes each city extremely costly to bootstrap. You have to heavily subsidize each one before it becomes self sufficient.
3/ and since there are already two big players, both operating in many cities (and one with multiple business lines, operating internationally) — if you start a competitor in one city, they’ll just slash their prices there and prevent you from gaining scale
- "Can't believe you're forcing your employees to come back!"
Should have specified — we're not forcing anyone. Folks who were hired during our remote era are grandfathered into that policy, but everyone is highly encouraged to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
- "You haven't tried hard enough! Timezones are totally manageable!"
We are legit the one team I know that's tried the hardest. We did all the things. Written communication, check. Extensive playbooks in a widely accessible wiki, check. World class tooling, check. Timezone… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
On the one hand, I 100% understand and mostly share the existential concerns.
Some counter arguments make sense[1], but the majority are not serious, their holders not understanding the concerns, or the power of superintelligence.
On the other hand, techno pessismists have, so far, always been wrong.
This time could be different, but there has to be a strong burden of proof on anyone who claims that a new tech needs to be stopped, as history, so far, has shown them to cause a lot more harm than good.

Excited to announce @getlindy, the AI assistant putting your life on autopilot.
Think of Lindy as ChatGPT w access to all your apps, so it can:
- manage your email & calendar
- help you prospect / recruit
- record & summarize your mtgs
Quick demo videos below
Here's how Lindy helps me with recruiting:
"Find 10 engineers in SF, and draft them a recruiting email based on this JD"
Think of Lindy as an AI employee. Just like an AI employee, you can talk to her on Slack / email / iMessage, or invite her to your meetings
Here I cc Lindy to an email, so she helps me find time with a candidate, taking care of all the back and forth:
