Autessa Autobots vs Lindy

Autessa Autobots as an alternative to Lindy

Autessa Autobots is a Lindy alternative with approvals in the chat you are working in, a browser you can watch and take over, recordings that replay exactly and self-heal, and dashboards and tables that live in your own workspace.

Lindy calls itself an AI employee: one teammate you reach in Slack, iMessage, email or the browser, with 40+ skills, routines, memory in files you can edit, and a very wide set of integrations plus hosted MCP servers. Watch and Learn turns a demonstration into a skill.

Where Autessa wins

  • Autobots stop for approval in the chat you are in, before anything is sent, bought, deleted or posted, and every Always allow stays on a list you can remove.
  • Watch the browser live, click Take over for a sign-in or a captcha, then Hand back and it carries on from that page.
  • A recording replays the same steps with self-healing, instead of being rewritten as instructions an AI interprets each time.
  • Ask Autobot to change how an Autobot works, down to a new screen or table in your copy of the app, or edit the code directly.
  • Lindy connects out to MCP servers. Autessa is one too, so your own agents can reach the data and workflows your Autobots use through the Autessa MCP.

FAQ

Autessa Autobots and Lindy

Is Autessa Autobots an alternative to Lindy?

Yes. Both act across your apps, run on a schedule and keep memory you can edit. Autessa Autobots add a live browser you can take over, self-healing replays, how-to docs from recordings, and specialists that hand off to each other.

How do Autobot approvals work?

Before an Autobot sends, buys, deletes or posts, it shows Allow once, Always allow and Deny in the chat. Typing a message instead counts as not approving, and every Always allow can be removed in its settings.

Can I customize Autessa Autobots more than Lindy?

Every Autobot starts with a job in your own words, its own apps and its own memory. You can run several, each with only the apps it needs. Autobot, Autessa’s AI builder, can then change anything from a plain-language request, such as a new specialty, a table or a dashboard, and your developers can edit the code directly.

Can Claude or my own agents use Autessa Autobots the way they use Lindy?

Yes. Autessa works in both directions. Autobots use your company’s MCP servers, and the Autessa MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own tools reach the tables, workflows and tools your Autobots use. That means your own agents can call into Autessa, as well as Autobots calling out.

Is Autessa Autobots free?

Yes. Autessa Autobots are free with every Autessa account, for unlimited users. You pay only for AI tasks.
