Dume.ai vs Lindy

Dume.ai

• People who want inbox triage and a daily briefing without building workflows
• Reaching an assistant by WhatsApp or phone call as well as in the browser
• Desktop file, spreadsheet and report tasks handed to an agent

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

Dume.ai

• The Free plan is limited to 100 credits a month, 20 messages a day and a single integration.
• Credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over; extra credit packs are sold only to subscribers.
• Two-way messaging, webhook triggers and custom instructions start at PRO, and frontier AI models are limited to MAX.
• No iOS or Android app is listed: phone use is through WhatsApp or a voice call, and the desktop app covers Mac and Windows only.

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.

Dume.ai

Email triage and morning briefing

Sorts and labels the inbox, drafts replies from your thread history and sends a daily briefing of meetings, messages and reminders. Free keeps 7 days of history for these.

Routines

Describe repeated work in a sentence, such as a Friday recap email, and Dume runs it on a schedule. Webhook triggers and private workflow limits depend on the plan.

WhatsApp and phone calls

The same assistant answers on WhatsApp and on a phone number you can call, and it can call you when something needs attention. Two-way messaging starts at PRO.

Dume Cowork

A desktop app for Mac and Windows whose agent organizes files, builds spreadsheets and reports and drives a real browser. It includes Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDF editors on every plan.

Dume for Chrome

A Chrome extension that summarizes pages, groups open tabs, researches across several sources and fills in forms from a typed command, using your Dume account.

Integrations, MCP and model choice

Connects to 50+ tools including Google Workspace, Notion, Jira, Slack and Zapier, plus custom MCP servers, and lets you pick the model, with higher model tiers on higher plans.

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.
