Reason magazine|July 2023
Flo Crivello is the founder and CEO of Lindy, a software company that has created an executive assistant powered by artificial intelligence (A.I.). Lindy can take care of your calendar, perform basic email correspondence, book travel, and take notes during meetings. The long-run goal is to automate as much work as possible and free up time for tasks that only humans can do.

Flo Crivello Says A.I. Will Be Bigger Than the Internet

In April, Reason’s Natalie Dowzicky interviewed Crivello for a video about how A.I. will change the way we work.

Q: You’ve described Lindy as creating a “one-time app that then gets thrown away.” What do you mean by that?

A: When you ask Lindy to do something, she actually writes a little piece of code to perform the task for you. So, for example, if you say, “Hey, help me find 30 minutes with Bob, next week,” she’s going to write a piece of code: “I’m going to look at your calendar, I’m going to pull availabilities, I’ll compile them in an email, I’m going to send them to Bob, and I will wait for his reply.” So all of that is a mini piece of code.
