What Lindy does genuinely well
Most pages comparing amaiko vs Lindy would open with the differences. We open with credit, because Lindy has earned more of it than almost any other tool on our comparison list.
It actually acts before you ask. Lindy is the most proactive personal assistant in its class. It monitors your inbox and calendar and gets ahead of you: email triaged and drafted in your own writing style, meetings scheduled, prepped, recorded and followed up without anyone typing a prompt. It positions itself as a replacement for a human executive assistant, and at the individual level that claim is more credible than the usual marketing inflation. Conceptually, this is the closest tool to amaiko on this entire page — proactivity is the right instinct, and Lindy committed to it early.
A no-code agent builder with 100+ integrations. If you want to automate a workflow Lindy doesn’t ship out of the box, you can build it yourself: no code, over a hundred app connections, plus Computer Use for web tasks that have no API.
SMS, iMessage and voice. You can text your assistant at 2 a.m. or put it on a phone call. Nobody else in this category offers that, and for mobile-first founders it is genuinely useful rather than a gimmick.
So if Lindy got the core instinct right, why does this page exist? Because proactive for you and proactive for your company are two different products — and the moment you evaluate Lindy as company infrastructure, the costume slips.
Four structural differences
Your preferences are not your company’s memory
Everything Lindy learns, it learns about you: your writing style, your scheduling preferences, your inbox habits. That is the right design for a personal EA — and exactly the wrong one for an organization. There is no shared organizational memory, no team-level knowledge, no record of what your company decided and why. Twenty people on Lindy means twenty disconnected assistants, each starting from zero about anything outside its owner’s accounts — and when someone leaves, everything their assistant learned walks out the door with them. amaiko builds a persistent corporate memory that grows with every interaction across the whole company: decisions, context, who knows what. The measurable effect for amaiko teams: 35% less time spent searching and onboarding up to 57% faster, because new hires inherit a memory instead of training a fresh assistant from scratch.
Proactive at your inbox vs proactive across the company
Lindy’s proactivity — real as it is — operates on your personal accounts: your inbox, your calendar, your meetings. amaiko’s operates on the company. A multi-agent network of 24 specialized AI agents monitors your organization’s signals across all internal systems — Microsoft 365 and beyond: SAP, CRM platforms, on-prem databases — and acts first, routing every request to the best available state-of-the-art models. See how the agent network operates. Same instinct, different scale: one watches your mailbox, the other watches your business.
No Teams. Not as an afterthought — not at all.
Lindy reaches you through email, SMS/iMessage and its web app. For a US solo professional, that is a fine surface area. But if your company communicates in Microsoft Teams — where German Mittelstand companies actually work — Lindy simply is not present: no Teams app, no chat interface, no presence in the channels where decisions get made. amaiko is Teams-native by design. It works in the same window where your team already talks, and onboarding is a single Teams chat.
A toolkit you assemble vs a platform that is already working
Lindy’s agent builder is impressive — and it is also homework. Those flexible automations are ones you design, test and maintain yourself. That suits a tinkerer building their perfect personal setup; it does not suit a 100-person company that wants AI working this week. amaiko requires zero onboarding: install it, say hello in Teams, and the agents start working — no flow-building, no prompt engineering, no admin project.
The GDPR question Lindy’s own users are asking
This is the section where we are obliged to be careful, so let’s stick strictly to the public record. Lindy’s pricing page displays GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 and PIPEDA logos. At the same time: no EU data residency appears anywhere in Lindy’s public documentation, there is no public DPA, and an unresolved post in Lindy’s own community forum puts it bluntly: “Lindy AI is NOT GDPR compliant, so please DO NOT feed it any personal data.” We cannot tell you which side of that contradiction is right — that is precisely the point. Anyone searching “Lindy AI GDPR” is looking for an answer the public record simply does not give. And for a German company, the assessment does not hinge on logos anyway: moving employee and customer data into a US-hosted system without a valid transfer mechanism collides with GDPR Articles 44–49, and the burden of proof sits with you, not with Lindy. amaiko removes the question instead of arguing it: 100% German hosting and ISO 42001 certification, the management standard for AI systems.
The pricing reality
Lindy’s free tier gives you 400 credits a month — enough to taste it. The real plans: Plus at $49.99 per person per month (about $41.66 billed annually), Pro at $99.99 per month for small teams, Max at $199.99 per month for high-volume automation, and a custom Enterprise tier with SSO, SCIM, audit logs and a HIPAA BAA. Notice the shape of that ladder: it scales with one person’s usage, not with an organization’s headcount. There is no rationally scaling team price — at $49.99 a head, a 50-person rollout costs more than Microsoft 365 Copilot and still leaves you with 50 disconnected assistants.
amaiko starts at €19.92 per user per month, billed annually — for the whole platform: Teams-native operation, persistent corporate memory, the 24-agent network and orchestration across your internal systems. Team pricing for a tool that is actually built for teams.
Who should choose which
Honest segmentation, no sales reflex.
Choose Lindy if you are an individual professional or founder who lives in email and on your phone, you want an assistant you can text or call, you enjoy building your own automations, and US hosting is acceptable for the data you will feed it. Within that frame, Lindy is the best personal proactive assistant we have reviewed — a sincere recommendation.
Choose amaiko if your company works in Microsoft Teams, you want proactivity at organizational scale rather than per inbox, you need a memory the whole team shares and inherits, and German data residency is a requirement rather than a wish.
Think twice about running both. The overlap is real: amaiko triages email and handles meeting prep and follow-ups proactively as part of the platform. Most teams that adopt amaiko find a $49.99-per-head personal assistant subscription redundant within a quarter.
