What Lindy Offers
Custom AI agents for internal task automation
Lindy is an AI agent platform that lets users build custom workflows for tasks like CRM updates, internal notifications, and basic scheduling flows. It’s a flexible system meant to automate repetitive digital tasks using a modular AI framework.
Lindy shines at:
Automating internal tools (e.g. CRMs, Slack updates)
Creating reusable agent workflows
Handling rule-based task execution
But it’s not designed for professionals juggling meetings, external stakeholders, shifting priorities, or packed calendars.
Why Trickle Comes Out On Top?
Purpose-Built Scheduling Assistant
Designed to replace calendar chaos, not just automate workflows
Trickle isn’t a platform. It’s a voice-first, inbox-aware, calendar-smart assistant that understands how professionals work.
Execution Over Configuration
No setup. No code. Just results.
Lindy requires configuring agents and workflows. Trickle requires a simple voice command, email forward, or CC. It just works — without needing to be “built.”
Cross-Company Coordination
Works beyond your tools and team
Lindy automates internally. Trickle manages external communication, time zones, and meetings — even with people who don’t use Trickle.
Priority and Etiquette-Aware
Understands people, tone, and urgency
Trickle knows who you’re meeting with, how to respond respectfully, and when to reschedule based on hierarchy, importance, and preferences.
Multimodal and Mobile-Ready
Available wherever you are
Trickle works via voice, email, calendar, and mobile — while Lindy is focused on desktop workflows and agent interfaces.

Final Verdict: Platform vs Assistant
Lindy is an automation toolkit. Trickle is a personal executive assistant.
If you want to build AI workflows, Lindy can be powerful.
But if you want to stop building and start delegating — choose Trickle.
For professionals who value their time, calendar sanity, and seamless coordination, Trickle is the better fit.
