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

[@MattVidPro]

*Hey folks! Some After Posting Info For You!* First, No this video is not sponsored in any way shape or form, however, the team at Lindy reached out to me after making the video, and they would like to give those of you who are interested in trying Lindy an additional 5000 credits if you subscribe. That's a 50 dollar valuation, (I'm not receiving any kickback on this btw) I would be silly not to share it with you guys, so feel free to use it if you're interested in subbing to the platform. www.lindy.ai/signup? 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!!!

[@WaxN-ey6vj]

I recommend Make over Zapper. Make is much cheaper than this automation and Zapper.

[@jasonshere]

Yes, I instantly thought that this looked like Zapier for AI. Zapier is a major tool for API automations. It works with any app that has an API, so it has about 7k+ integrations to tie various apps together through APIs, Webhooks, and other connectivity systems. Zapier is much more complex and focused toward API integrations, while Lindy appears to be a more simple AI-focused automation tool. Different tools for different purposes. If you want to connect Discord and KZbin, then Zapier would be your choice right now. You can customize most anything to happen automatically when certain conditions are met in Discord or on KZbin.

[@robrita]

DO NOT COMPARE THIS TO CHATGPT OR GEMINI!! TOTALLY DIFFERENT PRODUCT CATEGORY - MISLEADING! COMPARE THIS WITH ZAPIER!!

[@Shirryon]

Yeah...I just used the link to try it out and got no 5000 credits. Red flag...I'll test the platform anyway, but that was lame...

[@forestpandabath]

I would also recommend Make over Zapier, really flexible and fun to use :)

[@retrobossarcade3524]

You can just add an empty gift card on it, and it works. It worked for me

[@thom1218]

You could create a Lindy task to cancel your subscription after x days so you don't forget!

[@CreativePunk5555]

This has always bothered me for some reason. You give your card for a trial and then you cancel before the 7 days - how hard is it? Theres a ton of ways to set reminders and its easy to cancel. Where is the difficulty? Maybe too much work? If this has a possibility to change your biz or other time consuming tasks, whats the harm in trying and possibly discovering value in it? But that is not worth putting a card in and cancelling in 6 days? Sorry, not a personal attack - just an observation on how individuals figure this to be a bad thing.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@CreativePunk5555 Because it feels predatory making that mandatory. It's basically, "if you make a mistake and forget, we'll take your money without your permission".

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

[@yetanchenko]

@@MattVidPro You’re a good man, Matt. Keep it up, and may G-d bless you and yours.

[@thomasmitchell2514]

I’ve tested a lot of these and n8n has come out on top in almost every case. Most of these simple node automators are great for getting started, but as we all know; in reality there’s inevitably edge cases and subtle things that need tuning. That’s why I keep ending up with n8n, it lets you get under the hood to handle the inevitable complexity of the flows. Would be interesting for you to compare them with a flow that you actually use.

Thank you for bringing existence of n8n to my attention. I need to check it out O_O

[@justtiredthings]

Have you tried Dify? I'm looking at both right now. I get the impression N8N is a lot more powerful (in Dify, not a ton of integrations, and it looks, if I'm not mistaken, like the end-user can't even upload files apart from images), but Dify seems much more affordable; they have a pretty generous free option, and the $60 option looks like it could handle most SAAS apps that I would be interested in creating at, apparently, any scale (not including LLM calls, ofc--it's bring your own API key, but so is N8N). I'm pretty inexperienced with development and have never deployed a SAAS, so I'm interested in something that won't cause me to scramble and sweat bullets in the event of any quick growth or contraction of subscriptions; I don't want to accidentally financially screw myself or my app. I like that both are open-source and make self-hosting an option, but I really have no idea what I'm doing with devops. And sounds like N8N's open-source version is more limited than the hosted platform?

[@justtiredthings]

N8N's Pro plan charges ~$67 for 10k executions. So at 30 executions/day that could add up to like $6/user. That might be fine for personal use, but that's a super expensive middleman cut if you're using it as the backend for a SAAS app 🫤 And from what I've heard, Zapier and Make are even more expensive--by a lot

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.

[@Djoarhet001]

Lol so true, prompting has made me pay so much more attention to grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc...

[@DJ369-Miami]

So I am just experimenting with Lindy. I made a very basic news scraper that checks BBS and CNN and emails me headline summaries. For just 3 mails this has cost 400 credits!!!! For a couple very simple tasks. So expanding this to hourly news updates and maybe 5 URL would cost a fortune. Something may not be right. UPDATE: Lindy CS was helpful in explaining that it makes a difference which AI you are using and it's better to use actions instead.

[@morease]

Hey @MattVidPro, tnx for the great work. About ChatGPT you are wrong. It is surely possible to connect ChatGPT agents with such tools (usually openapi spec'ed endpoints). And yes, n8n can do the same. I am pretty sure they have built it on top of it in v2, and just added some agent collab abstractions...

[@outspan87]

They should have a $10 and $20/month plan. $30 is too steep

[@amj2048]

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.

[@joeltrain]

Looks like they just put a front end on top of langchain agents. Very cool

[@vazules]

WTF what a list of tools that could be connected 🎉🎉🥳🥳

[@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!

[@KCM25NJL]

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.

[@agnesslovehealz]

[@toptiertrivia]

I'm considering this and Bardeen. Could not find a comparison video.

[@isaacbegue]

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.

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.

[@Phagocytosis]

Hm, I can't get it to connect to my app. I'm trying it with Spotify and started by asking what I was playing. It said please connect your Spotify account, I clicked connect, Spotify gave me a confirmation message and I accepted, and Lindy successfully told me which song was playing. But then when I asked it a follow-up question, it said "Error: Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials?". And when I did a new chat, it couldn't even tell me which track was playing anymore, nor did it ask me to connect this time, just gave the same error. The trouble is that I can't find where or how to check my credentials. In my settings page, there's a "Connections" tab, but it just shows an empty list with apparently no way to add anything. In the workflow for this Lindy, I gave it a bunch of Spotify skills, but I cannot find a place where I could give it permissions. Do you (or does anybody else here) know what I'm missing? Thank you.

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.
