Flo walks me through a real day of his own Lindy usage, showing how it drafts email replies, prepares meeting briefs, updates CRMs, and handles calendar changes without being asked. We compare Lindy to OpenClaw and Claude's ecosystem, talk pricing, edge-case power users, and where Lindy goes over the next five years.
