Join me as I chat with Flo Crivello, founder of Lindy AI, where he demonstrates how to build AI agents that can automate various business processes without coding. The conversation showcases practical applications including meeting recording, scheduling, recruitment, competitive analysis, and customer support. Crivello emphasizes that there's currently a significant gap between what's technically possible with AI agents and what most businesses are implementing.

Key Points:

• Lindy is a no-code platform for building AI agents that can automate business processes
• Users can create their first agent in 10 minutes and automate significant portions of their business
• The platform features "Agent Swarms" that can handle multiple tasks in parallel with greater reliability
• Lindy offers thousands of integrations with various platforms and services

1) Meeting Assistant Agents

The most universal use case for AI agents? Meeting management!

Lindy can:
• Record and transcribe your meetings
• Create searchable notes in Google Docs
• Organize notes by person (incredible for context)

Flo: "I just had to dig up Google Docs and send him everything we've ever talked about with this person."

2) The Agent vs Workflow Difference

Unlike Zapier which connects isolated steps, Lindy creates TRUE AGENTS that:

• Understand context between steps
• Can recover from mistakes
• Let you speak to them in natural language
• Don't need every step configured

The magic? You're basically telling an AI to execute a sequence of connected actions.

3)  Agent Swarms = GAME CHANGER

This new feature lets you deploy multiple agents simultaneously!

• Send personalized outreach to hundreds of leads
• Research multiple people in parallel
• Execute tasks reliably without losing coherence

Think Agent Smith in The Matrix - your agent duplicates itself to handle massive workloads FAST.

4)  Real-World Examples That Blew My Mind

Flo's Lindy made a restaurant reservation BY PHONE 

The hilarious part? The restaurant was using an AI receptionist!

"It's already happening - AI agents are working together in the wild"

His AI also schedules meetings, preps him for calls, and manages his network.

5) Building a Recruiter Agent LIVE

In just 2 minutes, Flo built a recruiting agent that:
• Takes job criteria
• Searches for matching candidates
• Researches them on Perplexity
• Sends personalized outreach emails

All with human approval built in when needed!

"There's a huge gap between what's possible and what people are actually doing."

6) The "Elon Lindy" = Middle Management Killer

This agent:
• Calls every team member weekly
• Asks what they accomplished
• Compiles everything into a report for the CEO

One customer deployed this to 1000+ employees, essentially "replacing the middle management layer"!

7) Competitive Intelligence on Autopilot

Flo's competitive tracker:
• Wakes up monthly
• Monitors competitors from a spreadsheet
• Tracks employee count, traffic, funding, etc.
• Sends reports on who's pulling ahead

8) The MASSIVE Opportunity Right Now

"There is a HUGE arbitrage between what's possible and what people are actually doing."

Companies exploiting this gap are EXPLODING:
• One AI ad generator hit $5M ARR in months with just 8 people
• Small teams can now operate like they have 30-50 people
