Use a text assistant to reschedule meetings and sort email

A texted assistant can move meetings, draft replies, and turn screenshots into calendar events, but send actions still need close checking.

Done with Lindy· Intermediate

What they did
A reviewer tested Lindy as a helper they could message through iMessage or SMS. They connected Gmail or Outlook, let it sort and label incoming mail, and had it draft replies for approval. They also used text, voice notes, and screenshots to shift meetings and create events from another person’s availability.
How it went
The review called setup simple and liked the inbox sorting and one-to-one rescheduling, with one person saying it saved them 5–7 hours a week. Problems also showed up: some invites landed in a hidden folder, one message was shown as sent even though it never arrived, and scheduling with several people worked poorly.
Tips
Keep an eye on outgoing mail and calendar changes, since some actions can fail without being obvious. The service also uses credits and lower-priced plans only include help-center support, so check usage and get approval before anything is sent.

Try it yourself with Lindy

Act as my text-based calendar and email assistant through [iMessage or SMS]. Connect to [Gmail or Outlook], sort my inbox, label messages, and draft replies for me to review. When I send you a meeting request, a voice note, or a screenshot of availability, help me move or book the event. Before you send any email, invite, update, cancel, or submit anything, show me the exact action and wait for my approval. After I approve, carry it out and then summarize what changed.
