AI ON MY MIND

One cool secondary effect of owning an AI media company like Best of AI, is the level of access we have to new tools.

I was given a demo of one of the coolest AI tools since first discovering ChatGPT. That might sound dramatic but I was impressed.

It’s also one of the those underground tools that I’m sure, a year from now, everyone will be talking about it.

It’s called…Lindy.

Why is this tool so cool? Let me explain.

Lindy is an AI agent tool. Think of it like if Zapier (for those who are familiar) but infused with AI.

You can build different agents for different tasks.

For example, Best of AI gets tons of inbound leads requesting sponsorship or wanting to book calls with us.

Unfortunately, we miss some of those conversations.

But with Lindy, I have it set up so that if any person emails us requesting sponsorship, she will handle that for me.

But wait theres more…

Take a look at this screenshot.

Someone asked if I was able to meet tomorrow.

I replied and told Lindy AI to handle this coordination. Not only did the AI reply on my behalf, but found open slots on my calendar and then booked the call once the time was confirmed.

Yesterday, I talked about how AI agents will change the world. Lindy is the perfect example of why this is true.

What used to be handled by Executive Assistants or Virtual Assistants, can now be handled by AI.

This example is just one of the many things Lindy can do. I was so impressed. I had to share this tool with you.
