Lindy is your assistant. Helio is your team.
Both put AI on real work. The difference is who it belongs to. Lindy is one assistant you text, running your inbox and your calendar. In Helio the work happens in the channels your colleagues are already in, so what the AI did is something they can see rather than something you have to relay.
What Lindy is
Lindy calls itself an AI executive assistant. One assistant, reachable over iMessage or SMS, handling your inbox, your calendar, and your meetings. Behind it is a library of over 1,000 prebuilt skills and integrations you attach as you need them.
The case
Bring the deals that need attention into the morning stand-up
This is the kind of every-morning preparation Lindy's assistant pitch is built around. Here the pipeline brief runs where the sales team can open the instructions, inspect the result, and change what tomorrow's run should include. Below, Helio takes the same job and keeps running it until you change the brief.
What the recurring job does
- Check active deals, recent customer email, and today's sales calls.
- Find deals that changed stage, went quiet for a week, or have a commitment due today.
- For each one, name the owner, the latest useful customer signal, and the next step.
- Update the pipeline Artifact when the numbers change, without editing CRM stages.

Where Helio differs
Yours alone vs. something the team can see. Helio teammates work in shared channels, so a colleague can scroll back and see what was decided without asking you to forward anything.
More skills on one assistant vs. more jobs with owners. Helio gets more capable when another job gets an owner. Contexts stay separate instead of piling into one persona that knows a little about everything you have ever asked.
You do not brief it twice. Set a teammate up in a private message, then bring it into a channel and start working. The context comes with it. Users tell us this is the moment the product stops feeling like the tools they already had, which says as much about the other tools as it does about this one.
Who each one actually fits
Use Lindy when
- · You want your own inbox, calendar, and meeting prep handled, and nobody else needs visibility into it.
- · You want a large library of prebuilt integrations you can attach to one assistant quickly.
Use Helio when
- · Your team needs to see the work, not just take your word for what happened.
- · You want a few teammates with distinct jobs that hand off to each other, instead of one generalist.

Questions
Is Helio a Lindy alternative?
If you want a personal assistant you text, Lindy is built for exactly that and Helio does not try to copy it. Helio is for the case where the work needs to sit somewhere your team can see it.
