Build Without Permission: The Taskade Difference
We believe AI agents shouldn't exist in isolation. They should be woven into the fabric of how you work - connected to your projects, data, and team.
- One prompt = one app
- Your workspace = the backend
- Your agents = the team
- Your automations = the execution
Software should be alive. And now, it is.
What is Taskade?
Taskade transforms how teams work by turning ideas into intelligent applications instantly. Founded by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang in 2017, this Y Combinator-backed platform combines AI agents with a complete workspace.
Unlike Lindy's standalone agent approach, Taskade creates living workspaces where AI agents work alongside your projects, databases, and team. Describe what you need in plain English, and watch as complete business apps appear with AI agents, real-time data, and automation workflows built-in.
What makes Taskade revolutionary:

- Intelligent Automation: Workflows that adapt and make smart decisions
- Real-time Collaboration: Built-in chat, video, and collaborative editing

What is Lindy?
Lindy is an AI agent platform founded in 2023 that allows users to create AI assistants for various tasks. It focuses specifically on building and deploying AI agents that can automate repetitive work through natural language instructions.
Lindy positions itself as a way to create "AI employees" that can handle email, scheduling, research, and other business tasks. It offers pre-built agent templates and integrations with common business tools.
Key characteristics of Lindy:
- Agent-First Platform: Focused entirely on AI assistants
- Pre-built Templates: Ready-made agents for common tasks
- Integration Focus: Connects to external tools and services
- Natural Language Training: Teach agents through conversation
- Standalone Design: Agents work independently, not within a workspace
Why Teams Choose Taskade Over Lindy
The fundamental difference is integration: Lindy gives you AI assistants that work for you, while Taskade gives you AI agents that work with you and your entire workspace.
Isolated Agents vs. Integrated Intelligence
Lindy creates AI agents that exist outside your workflow. They connect to external tools and perform tasks, but your work still happens somewhere else - in Google Docs, Notion, spreadsheets, or other platforms.
Taskade embeds AI agents directly into your workspace. Your agents have access to your projects, understand your team's context, remember previous interactions, and work alongside human teammates in real-time.
Assistants vs. Complete Applications
Lindy helps you automate tasks. Need email responses? Create an agent. Need meeting scheduling? Create another agent. But these remain separate tools for separate tasks.
Taskade builds complete business applications. One prompt creates a client portal with AI agents handling inquiries, project management tracking progress, databases storing information, and automation keeping everything synchronized.
Subscription vs. Platform
Lindy is another subscription in your tech stack - another tool alongside your existing workspace, project management, and collaboration tools.
Taskade replaces multiple tools with one intelligent platform. Projects, docs, chat, video, agents, and automation - all integrated, all intelligent, all learning together.
The Bottom Line
If you just need standalone AI assistants to automate specific tasks and don't mind managing a separate platform, Lindy offers focused agent building. But if you want AI agents that are woven into your actual workspace - understanding your projects, working with your team, and powering complete business applications - Taskade is the clear choice.
