I looked into Lindy AI this week. They build "AI employees" you talk to in plain English instead of building workflows node by node. Main trick: it lives in your Slack, handles your inbox, joins your Zoom calls for notes, schedules stuff, updates your CRM. The spooky test: teach it to hunt ghosts. Have it scan your inbox for emails that went unanswered 30+ days, draft a follow-up for each one, queue them for your approval. "This deal is coming back from the dead." It can actually do this kind of thing. Price: starts at $29.99/month for 3,000 credits. No free tier. Credits don't roll over. And here's the scary part: nobody can tell you what a task actually costs until you've burned real money finding out. One user torched all 3,000 monthly credits in a single day. Failed loops eat your credits. Overage charges run at 2x. The reviews are split in a way that tells you everything. G2: 4.9 out of 5, people love it for light use. Trustpilot: 1.7 out of 5, with billing fights and agents sending emails to the wrong people. My verdict: HOLD OFF. It's genuinely good at one thing: being the AI teammate in your Slack that handles inbox and meetings. But don't start on a paid plan blind. They give you $50 in free credits with no card required. Run your real tasks on those first, measure your actual burn rate, then decide. If you need high-volume automation with predictable costs, n8n or Make are still the move. Anyone here actually running Lindy? Curious what your real credit burn looks like.

The tool: You type a sentence like "spooky Halloween jingle for a pumpkin candle shop" and it writes you a full song with singing in about a minute. I tested it Halloween style since it's October. What I liked: It's fast and it actually sounds good. Real vocals, real lyrics. A clothing store owner said she uses it for her TikTok ads because her old videos kept getting muted over copyrighted music. That's a real problem this fixes. The catch: The free plan is personal use only. You can't use free songs in ads, YouTube videos, or anything that makes money. For business you need Pro at $10 a month. Also if one lyric bugs you, you have to regenerate the whole song. Price: Free to play with, $10/month for commercial rights. VERDICT: WORTH IT If you make videos or run ads, $10 for unlimited custom jingles beats stock music libraries and muted videos. Just don't build your business on the free plan, the license doesn't allow it. Anyone made a Halloween track with AI? Drop it below.
