I mentioned Lindy AI because it’s a solid beginner-friendly way to build simple AI agents that actually do work across apps—like replying to meeting requests and booking events in your calendar. It’s not perfect (and it can burn credits faster than you’d expect), but the free 400 credits/month makes it easy to test whether it fits your workflow.
Pros
+Beginner-friendly agent/workflow builder
+Works well for Gmail + Google Calendar automations (replying, checking availability, creating events)
+Generous free tier (400 credits/month) for testing
+Good selection of pre-built templates by role (support, sales, ops, etc.)
Cons
-Templates and integrations are heavily Google-first; less helpful if you’re on Microsoft
-Credit usage can add up quickly (even simple threads can consume multiple credits)
-Not great for app building compared to tools like Cursor/Lovable (errors in my test)
-Limited when an app doesn’t have accessible API integrations (e.g., Instagram/Facebook)
