Support is great. Feedback is even better.

"Hi everyone! We built Lindy because we think agents are much too awesome for only engineers to be able to create them. I'm really excited to hear everyone's feedback, and see what you build with Lindy!"

Sort by:
It's been awesome to observe the development of Lindy over the past year — and of course, I'm biased since Flo and I overlapped at Uber — but in terms of agent orchestration, Lindy is definitely worth checking out!

I remember seeing the teaser video for Lindy a while back. Very compelling.

What's been the biggest surprise or learning so far, @suneric and @altimor?

@suneric @rrhoover Biggest surprise has been how goddamn hard this has been to build — who would have thought building AGI would be difficult?

Seriously, we've really had to refine our intuitions on the kind of idea that's mature enough to be production-ready now, and what's still too "research-y." Agents and cognitive architectures are still a field of active research, and it's very easy to go down crazy rabbit holes.

I know Flo from when we had competing remote work startups, and I've been really excited to see this next play.

@altimor it looks like you've added a lot of thoughtful UI to the process of creating agents. Have you found any general principles to navigate when to add UI and when to keep things more free-form? Or is the answer just...test, test, test?

@rajiv_ayyangar so far the most pithy rule I've found is "chat is a chisel, UI is a sandpaper." Chat and natural language are an easy way to narrow in quickly in a huge space of possible tasks ("I want to edit a video please").

But once you're there, you really do need custom UIs (e.g. in this case of video-editing, a scrubber) to make fine-grained adjustments.

@altimor another reason I like that analogy is that when you’re chiseling a rock you have to have an idea of what you’re going for. (Not a ton of affordances). Whereas w sandpaper you can already see mostly what’s taking shape.
Really good. Do you think this will work well for a news curation newsletter following a specific format every time? I just plug in the news article and it summarizes it as news and links to it for more information
