Malleable vs. Lindy

Lindy is an AI teammate in Slack that runs routines from plain-English prompts. Malleable is for work your team needs done the same way every week, even when parts of it need judgment.

In common: Both start from plain English and work in Slack.

The main difference

Who decides the steps?

Lindy

Lindy does, on every run. A routine is a prompt, so two runs of the same routine can go differently.

Malleable

Your team does. You describe the work in plain English, and Malleable lays out the steps every run follows. The AI uses judgment only at the steps where you allow it.

Side by side

How they compare

Each row is something you can check in a demo, or in the other tool's docs.

Fixed steps and AI judgment
Lindy
The AI works out every step, on every run. Only personal routines can run as a script, and scripts can't use connected apps.
Malleable
An AI agent runs the whole operation and works out cases nobody planned for. Your team locks the steps that must run the same way every time.
People outside your company
Lindy
Everyone who talks to Lindy needs a paid seat.
Malleable
Anyone can answer from a secure link, with no account.
Bringing in a person
Lindy
Approvals go to the person who asked, or an admin.
Malleable
Malleable sends them a short form with the context, then waits for their answer.

When to choose Malleable

  • The work crosses teams and waits on people, inside or outside your company.
  • The same work comes up again and again, and parts of it need judgment.
  • The people who run it need to change it themselves.
