What creators think

Alex Daniels, Greg Isenberg, and Liam Ottley all recommend Lindy, each for different reasons. Daniels describes using it to run an entire sales email workflow end-to-end — responding, following up, upselling — and credits it with letting his team shift focus away from the inbox. Isenberg highlights setup simplicity, calling it roughly ten times easier than alternatives like OpenClaw, with proactive automation through iMessage. Ottley's recommendation is narrower: he points to Lindy's compliance and data privacy credentials specifically. Worth noting for context: Riley Brown and John Coogan both mention that Lindy switched its core model from Claude to DeepSeek, without framing that as a positive or negative — just a notable infrastructure choice for anyone evaluating the product.
