AutoGPT vs Lindy

AutoGPT

• People who want ready-made agent roles before building any workflow
• Recurring research, content and outreach work run on a schedule
• Developers who want to self-host an open-source agent platform

Lindy

• Teams that work in Slack and want one shared AI teammate
• Recurring reports, briefs and follow-ups pulled from connected tools
• Gmail users who want labeled mail and pre-drafted replies

AutoGPT

• The hosted cloud has no free plan; Pro starts with a 7-day trial that requires a card.
• Workflow runs are billed from a prepaid credit wallet on every cloud plan, on top of the subscription.
• The Team plan, with multi-user workspaces and admin roles, is listed as coming soon.
• Self-hosting means supplying your own infrastructure and API keys for models and third-party services.

Lindy

• There is no ongoing free plan: the $50 of free credits lasts 7 days, after which paid usage starts at $29.99 per user per month.
• Anyone who uses Lindy takes a paid seat, including people who @mention it in Slack; those joining through Slack get a one-time 7-day trial first.
• Monthly credits do not roll over, and Lindy pauses credit-using actions when the shared pool runs out.
• SSO, SCIM, audit logs and HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA are limited to Enterprise.

AutoGPT

Experts and Otto

32 ready-made Experts cover roles such as SEO content, sales, bookkeeping and market research. Otto, a generalist agent, hands a brief to the right Expert, or you can talk to one directly.

Routines and scheduled workflows

Recurring work can run on a cron schedule or start from a webhook trigger, with results left for you to review and schedules you can adjust or pause.

Visual workflow builder

A drag-and-drop graph builder composes workflows from blocks, and Otto can generate a workflow from a plain-English description.

Integration blocks and models

More than 200 integration blocks cover tools such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion and HubSpot, alongside models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI and others.

Access and spending controls

You choose which connected accounts each Expert can use, set a spending approval threshold per Expert, and can place human approval gates inside a workflow.

Self-hosting and API

The platform can be self-hosted with Docker using your own model keys, and a public REST API gives programmatic access to workflows and tasks.

Lindy

Shared teammate in Slack

A whole team shares one Lindy, summoned with an @mention in Slack channels and threads. It can also be reached by iMessage, by email and in the browser.

Integrations and MCP

Connects to Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot and more than 1,000 other apps, and can use any MCP server to reach tools that have no built-in integration.

Meeting recording and notes

Records meetings and writes notes into a shared library with folders that teammates can query later. It also handles scheduling, prep and follow-up.

Scheduled routines

Recurring work such as a morning brief, a Monday report or a Friday nudge can be set up in a sentence and run on a schedule.

Skills and editable memory

Comes with more than 40 skills, including research, data analysis and slide decks. New skills can be saved for the whole team, and its memory lives in plain files you can edit.

Approvals

Actions with outside impact, such as sending an email or updating a ticket, wait for approval. Read-only lookups from approved sources do not.
