| Dimension | Lindy | Kazi |
|---|---|---|
| Where you use it | Slack, email, iMessage and SMS, phone calls, a Chrome extension and web chat.Source: Lindy docs, iMessage and SMS | Web, the Kazi Voice app for iPhone and Android, text messages and live meetings. Voice and text share one long-lived personal thread, so the conversation carries on wherever you pick it up. |
| Phone and voice | No mobile app; Lindy works over iMessage, SMS and Slack. It answers inbound calls on its own US number and makes outbound calls to businesses.Source: Lindy, Phone | Kazi Voice (iOS and Android beta) is a personal assistant on your phone: walkie-talkie, dictation or hands-free conversation, and it records and transcribes in-person meetings with speaker names. |
| Solo and team | Anyone on the team can assign work in Slack or email, and credits are pooled across the team.Source: Lindy, Pricing | Works for one person or a whole team. Projects hold members with roles; chats, files, subagents and playbooks are shared into a project with view or edit access, and each project's agent has its own access list. |
| Live meetings | Joins Zoom, Meet and Teams as a named participant, captures decisions as they happen, and sends prep briefs and recaps.Source: Lindy, Meetings | Joins Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack Huddles, right away or at a set time. During the call it posts in the meeting chat, shares a file or page on screen, reads screen shares and the invite's agenda, and acts on what was said. |
| Recurring work | Routines run daily, weekly or monthly, or on events such as a meeting ending or an email arriving.Source: Lindy, Routines | Scheduled tasks, by clock time or interval, run saved playbooks and can deliver results to a project's members. Subagents take several jobs at once in the background and report back. |
| Approvals | Actions with outside impact, such as sending email, wait for approval; read-only lookups do not.Source: Lindy, Pricing | You set each connection to Only read or Can update, one at a time, and the platform enforces it: a change through a read-only connection stops to ask you when Ask Mode is on, and does not run at all otherwise. |
| Pricing | Free with $50 of credits for 7 days; Team from $29.99 per active user a month for 3,000 credits; Enterprise custom.Source: Lindy, Pricing | 14-day free trial with 5 credits, no card. Then $19.99 a month for 50 credits; one credit covers a meeting session of up to 45 minutes. Extra credits from $3.50, or bring your own model API key. |
Questions people ask
How is Kazi different from Lindy?
Both text you, join meetings and run routines. Kazi adds a native voice app for hands-free conversation and in-person meeting recording, and team projects where chats, files and playbooks are shared.
Does Kazi answer phone calls?

Kazi is one AI agent for the whole business: it works for a solo owner and for a team, and every person also has an always-on personal assistant on their phone, by voice and text. It joins live meetings, works across the tools you already use, never changes an app you have set to read-only, and delivers the finished result.
