Workflows are the output. So is the person.
Lindy is a visual AI workflow builder — drag, drop, connect. Spawnlabs encodes how a specific person works and runs it as a continuous agent, with the tools and apps the work needs.
Lindy is the Zapier of the AI age — visual workflow nodes for non-technical users. Spawnlabs is a different shape: instead of wiring workflows, you encode a person's way of working and the agent assembles what it needs to run.
When Lindy is the right choice
- You already think in visual workflows. Drag-and-drop is how you model work.
- Your automation is structured and rule-based — clear inputs, clear outputs, repeatable triggers.
- You want a shared canvas your whole team can look at and edit.
When Spawnlabs is the right choice
- Your work is too nuanced to draw in a canvas — judgment, taste, exceptions, edge cases.
- You want the agent to build the tools it needs (CRMs, dashboards, trackers), not just wire existing ones.
- You want the agent encoded to a specific person, not a role — and portable when that person moves on.
- You want persistent memory across sessions, not just per-run state.
Concrete example — a sales rep's daily loop
With Lindy: draw a workflow from 'new lead' → 'enrich' → 'draft email' → 'update CRM'. Works for a standard flow. With Spawnlabs: encode how Sarah specifically works a lead — her qualifying questions, her outreach voice, the exceptions she catches. The agent runs Sarah's process, builds the CRM if missing, ships landing pages per campaign, updates the pipeline, and posts the daily dashboard.
