Mindy

Mindy is a forward-thinking AI tool designed to function as your email-first Chief of Staff. By integrating seamlessly into your email environment, Mindy simplifies your workflow, handling tasks from complex research to organizing daily meetings. It’s built for professionals and individuals who want to optimize time management and boost productivity by automating routine tasks and aiding in decision-making—all without leaving the inbox.

• Email Integration: Operates within your existing email system (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail), transforming your inbox into a command center for AI-powered assistance.
• Task Automation: Manages scheduling, summarizes information, tracks to-dos, and even handles shopping tasks—all triggered by natural language email requests.
• Customized Assistance: Learns your preferences and adapts its responses to meet your specific communication style, priority criteria, and workflow habits.
• Real-Time Responses: Provides rapid answers to research queries, scheduling requests, and decision-support questions, speeding up your daily workflow.
• Calendar Sync: Integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook to automatically book meetings, check availability, and send invites without manual entry.
• Task Management Integration: Connects with Trello and Asana to create, update, or retrieve tasks, enabling a centralized project view directly from your inbox.

1. Sign up and connect your email: Create an account at mindy.com and authorize Mindy to access your preferred email account (e.g., Gmail, Outlook).
2. Configure your preferences: Set your timezone, default meeting durations, preferred calendar, and any custom instructions for how Mindy should handle tasks.
3. Start sending requests via email: Compose an email to Mindy’s assigned address (or CC Mindy on an existing thread) with a clear task request in the subject or body.
4. Use natural language commands: Ask Mindy to “schedule a 30‑min call with Jane next Tuesday,” “summarize this 10‑page PDF,” or “find three Italian restaurants near the office for a team dinner.”
5. Review Mindy’s responses: Mindy replies with suggested meeting times, research summaries, or confirmation of actions taken. Simply approve or refine via reply.
6. Integrate with other tools (optional): Connect your Trello, Asana, or API endpoints through Mindy’s settings to enable cross‑platform task creation from email commands.

Mindy offers a free tier that includes basic task assistance, limited scheduling, and research capabilities. For power users and teams, a Premium Tier is available at $20 per month, unlocking advanced automation, deeper integrations, priority response times, and expanded usage limits.
