Lindy just dropped an OpenClaw

alternative. And honestly, most people

probably don't need OpenClaw anymore. I

spent 6 hours setting OpenClaw. Lindy

took me under 2 minutes. No terminal, no

VPS, and it's completely safe to use.

You can literally text with it over

iMessage and have it do things for you.

So, in this video, I'm going to break

down the key differences, how to set it

up, and use cases that I've been using

myself over the last few days. If you

haven't set up OpenClaw or you want a

safe alternative, this is it. So without

further ado, let's dive in. All right,

so before I dive in and actually show

you how to use the Lindy agent, I'm

going to show you the key differing

factors between Lindy AI and OpenClaw.

First of all, Lindy AI takes about 60

seconds to set up and you do not need a

terminal. Whereas OpenClaw, I've seen

people take up to 1 to even 5 hours to

set it up. You have to install NodeJS,

use API keys, terminal required, all

these things that are pretty difficult

for a non-technical person to do. For

Lindy AI, you could type in plain

English and the agent builder is going

to create it for you. And going back to

OpenClaw, you have to use terminal

commands, config files, debug errors,

and port conflicts. It's just an

absolute pain if you don't know what it

is that you're doing right off of the

bat. And right here, OpenClaw has 50

plus integrations, full system access,

plus browser control, which is cool. But

inside of Lindy AI, we have 5,000 plus

integrations built in, which include

things like Gmail, Slack, Calendar,

whatever CRM you use, etc. And then

moving over to security, inside of

Lindy, we have enterprisegrade security

because it's a very well-known and

popular platform across the entire

automation space. Whereas inside of

Clawbot, there are tons of different

security issues that you will probably

run into. Moving on to our bottom line,

both of these are AI agents. Lindy, it

will take you 60 seconds in no code,

whereas OpenClaw, it's going to take

hours of setup, and it's really only for

developers unless you really want to

sacrifice it and, you know, have

security issues. I do want to say that

there are a couple places where OpenClot

will actually win, but I think the

majority of people do not need to use

Open Claw and go through the hassle. Of

course, you have 100% local privacy, so

your data never leaves your machine and

Lindy actually stores this on their

cloud server, so you could trust Lindy

with this information. However, if you

do want to have all this on your local

computer, that is something that

OpenClaw provides. And then inside of

OpenClaw, it is truly free if you decide

to use local models. So, you can run O

Lama locally, which is $0 per month

forever. And inside of Lindy, you will

have to pay for their platform. But

again, if you are non-technical and you

want to begin using something like this,

this is a great alternative for you to

begin doing so without the security

risk. So here is why I personally am

using Lindy as we speak. So I wanted

agents now, not next weekend. I didn't

want to run into errors when setting up

my Clawbot. Security is handled for me,

which is a really big one. I don't need

to worry about leaked API keys or

information like that. And I don't need

a separate computer running 24/7 since

Lindy does run in the cloud. I don't

need to go out and buy a Mac Mini to run

Open Claw on because I don't want it to

have access to my personal computer. So

this is not an issue if you're using

Lindy. So now that we understand the key

differences here, let's now dive into

how you could begin using the Lindy AI

agent and why I think it's genuinely a

gamecher. All right, so moving on to

Lindy and how we could actually begin

using it right now. Here is a landing

page. If you want to sign up, there's a

link in the description to do so. So you

could see right here, text your AI

assistant, get answers, get things done.

And as we see right here on the landing

page, you could text this over SMS on

iMessage. So for example, how I've been

using this is I literally just text it

as if I'm texting a friend. And it can

go ahead and schedule things for me. It

could read through all of my emails. It

gives me a breakdown every single

morning of every email that I miss and

even comes up with drafted replies for

me. In order for us to begin using this

right now, we just need to sign into an

account. Let me head over to my account

now. And once you're inside of your

account, you're going to click on home.

And right here is where we can set it

up. And guys, too bad this tutorial is

not a long one, me explaining exactly

how to set it up. But it's very, very

simple, and I cannot stress that enough.

So, all you have to do is click on this,

connect your Google account, which I

already did. Extremely easy to do. And

then just share your phone number with

the assistant. Let me go ahead and do

that right now. I don't want you guys to

see my phone number to blow it up, but

I'm going to add in my phone number. And

then I can begin texting with my agent.

All right. So, just like that. That

literally took me 10 seconds to set up

and I could begin chatting with it right

here. But then I'm going to show you how

you could chat with it over text message

shortly. Let me just say hey there. So

now we have our agent set up here. I

want to test out the functionalities and

I'm comparing this to open claw. So I'm

just trying to get a sense of like what

is it that you can help me do? All

right. So it's breaking down all this

stuff here. So it could help me with

scheduling. It could help me with

emails, meetings, research. So, it could

actually do web search, competitor

analysis, find contact information, and

computer use. This is a really big one

here that I'm going to show you later in

this video. It could browse the web. It

could actually complete online tasks

like ordering Uber Eatats or grocery

shopping, cancelling subscriptions,

filling out forms, etc. So, this is

insane if you really think about it. It

could generate images as well as it

could also understand our voice notes.

So, I'm going to show you later how I

could just simply drop in a voice note

on SMS and it will be able to understand

everything. So, I've been using this

every day to break down all of the

things that I did in that day and all

the stuff that's stressing me out for me

to do tomorrow. And it's been saving so

much time. So, now that we have this

here, we could interface with this

directly inside of Lindy if we want. But

where this gets really interesting and

the most incredible part about this all

is I could text my AI agent via my

phone. So, I'm going to show you that

right now. All right. So, in order to

test this out now, I pulled up my text

chat on SMS here on iMessage. So, what I

could do now is I could actually type

with it. So say I'm going to say, "Hey,

what is up Lindy?" And then you could

also see on the left hand side we have

this instance of Lindy running. So we

could again interface with this on Lindy

if we want or we could actually text

with it via SMS. But the reason that I

have this up on the lefth hand side is

because we can see exactly what it is

doing on the back end. So for example,

if I tell it to use browser use and go

fill out forms for me online, I could

see that in real time to see what it is

that it is doing. All right. So what I'm

going to do is I'm just going to text

right here and say, "This is amazing.

can you check the last few emails for

me? So, I'm going to send this off now.

And what it's doing on the lefth hand

side here on the Lindy screen, you can

see that it's searching through all of

my emails because this already has

access to my emails inside of Lindy

because Lindy connects to 5,000 plus

integrations and apps. And that is why

this is phenomenal to use if you're

using things like Notion, Gmail, Google

Sheets, and literally any of the apps

that you're using because odds are Lindy

will connect with it. All right, so this

is actually pretty cool. You can see

that I broke down my last five emails.

And then what I'm going to say is just I

want you to go and respond to the email

to Sendripe and give them a follow-up

using the style of my normal email

responses. So it actually has the

ability to see my previous emails that

I've sent to replicate my style and kind

of the language that I use in order to

respond to all of my emails. Let's say I

want to reply to like one of my

co-workers, for example. Odds are

somebody probably can't even tell the

difference between whether it's me or if

it's me texting my Lindy agent to go off

and respond for me. All right. And just

like that, it literally responded to my

email for me. You could see that it

pulled up the thread here and actually

sent this email. So, let me pull up this

exact email to show you what it sent.

So, here is the email reply. Thanks for

the follow-up. I appreciate the redesign

details, but I'm pretty locked in with

my current workflow right now. Not the

right time to make a switch, but I'll

definitely keep send that changes down

the road. Best of luck with the product.

And this is very candid. This is exactly

how I reply to my emails. So, that is a

great use case, being able to respond to

your different emails just by telling

Lindy to do so. Something else I want to

mention that makes using this Lindy

agent in my email super seamless and

super easy to use is you might be able

to see these labels here. And I did not

add these labels. Lindy automatically

adds labels to these based on the email

that I get. So, for example, this right

here, it says to respond. So, this is

something that I need I need to respond

to. FYI right here, this is essentially

just kind of like, you know, an

interesting fact. This one right here,

it says FYI. It's just basically

interesting facts. Probably doesn't

pertain to me. So that's why I added the

FYI label. You can see that this one was

labeled as newsletter because this is

the AI rundown. So this has been amazing

at automatically like filtering out all

these emails for me. It makes it so much

more simple when I do need to go into my

email inbox. Like for example, right

here is an invoice for Amplify that I

actually paid for. So then I'm able to

track all of my payments using this

because it auto labels these. All right.

So, I just came up with a pretty cool

use case for my Lindy agent. I just did

a whiteboard session on my whiteboard

right here. You can see I broke down all

the tasks that I need to do. I broke

down my agency work. I wrote down

invoices that need to be collected,

different tasks I need to do across my

business for content creation. And so,

what I'm going to do is I'm now going to

actually drop this into Lindy here. So,

I'm going to pull up photos and I'm just

essentially going to drop this in. And

I'm not just going to drop this in. What

I'm going to do is I'm going to give it

a voice message and basically break down

my thoughts and all this stuff. give it

a brain dump and then I'm going to have

it go ahead and categorize all of this

and even perform tasks for me on my

behalf. So, this is really a look into

the power of what our Lindy agent can do

directly inside of iMessage. So, what

I'm going to do is I'm going to send

this over and then I'm going to click on

this voice message button here. Hey,

Lindy. So, I just did a whiteboarding

session and these are all the tasks that

I'm working on right now. It's just

basically a brain dump. So, what I want

you to do is I want you to categorize

all of this stuff and all the tasks. So,

I want it broken down, you know, based

on each category. I also want you to

break down like my content creation

business aside from my agency work that

needs done to keep that separate. And

then what I want you to do is I want you

to then perform some of these tasks for

me that you're able to actually

performed. And then I also want you to

brain dump this into notion. And I want

it to be formatted perfectly. So that

way I have an idea of all the tasks I

need to perform today. I'm going to use

that as my to-do list. All right. So I

gave it that long voice message there.

I'm going to send it over. All right. So

here we go. It actually took the voice

message that I had and broke down all

this stuff here. It gave me this text.

All right, here's what I've done.

Analyzed your whiteboard and extracted

all tasks. Organized everything in your

notion page with check checkboxes. Found

the love art brief email from Victoria

Tang January 24th because that is one of

the things I asked for and it actually

created this notion page for me. So, let

me pull this up now. All right. So, now

I have an entire notion page since it

has access to my notion with all this

stuff. So, I need to film the Lindy

video, create the Lindy thumbnail, film

the ROR Claude Opus 4.6 app building

video and the ROR thumbnail. I need to

work on client work and admin. It says

that I need to send Sally the invoice,

$5,000 for design work. I need to check

the love art brief and send it in Slack.

All of this stuff. And it even broke

down the agency work and kept that

separate from my content creation

workflow. And it also broke down

everything and every task that it

completed. Let me go ahead and come back

to my agent. Now, this all looks great.

As for the Brian meeting, I want you to

just generate this meeting and I'll

actually add him to it later. However, I

want you to do research on the company

has data and then break that down for me

and text me the information you find. As

for the invoice for Sally, can you go

ahead and actually generate the invoice

for me and send it here and then I'll go

ahead and send it to her myself. So, I'm

going to give the tasks here to Lindy

and I'm going to come back once it

actually finishes these. All right. So,

here we go. We actually now have our

meeting scheduled. It used my Google

calendar since it has access to it via

Lindy and all the integrations that it

has. It even generated this invoice here

for Sally with for $5,000 for design

work. And then it even updated our

Notion database with all the other stuff

that it completed. All right, guys.

There we have it. That is the new Lindy

AI assistant that might replace your

need for using something like OpenClaw.

This is a much safer and easier

alternative if you don't want to set up

OpenClaw yourself or need to buy a Mac

Mini or set up a VPS to run it. If you
