The Lindy alternative that doesn't fail silently.
Tell Kav the job in plain words. It puts a team of agents on it, running on your Claude or ChatGPT plan, and a second agent checks every run before it reaches you.
Every run checked, so you don't have to.
A second agent that didn't do the work checks every run against your goal and your checklist before the result reaches you.
- Sent back, not shipped
- A run that falls short goes back with the exact gap. After three tries, you're told what's missing.
- Told when it keeps missing
- A checklist line that fails twice is raised with you.
- Checked on every run
- Not only once before you switch it on, but on the tenth run and the hundredth.
In Lindy, you dry-run a routine before you trust it to run unattended, because, in Lindy's words, a routine that picks the wrong emails will keep picking the wrong emails, quietly.
Runs on the Claude or Codex plan you already pay for.
Each agent can run Claude Code on your Claude plan or Codex on your ChatGPT plan, signed in by you, or use the included Kav AI.
- Chosen per agent
- One agent on your Claude plan, the next on Codex.
- Failed runs cost nothing
- A run that fails on Kavela's side uses no credits.
- You decide at a limit
- When your plan's limit is reached, wait for the reset or finish on Kavela credits.
In Lindy, every active user is billed, from $49.99 a month for 5,000 credits each, and the work is paid in credits whichever model does it. When the pool runs out, credit-using work pauses until it resets or an admin tops up.
Change it by saying so. See if the change helped.
Write the job in plain words and the steps are drawn for you. Every change becomes a version with its own pass rate.
- Steps drawn for you
- Each step shows the app it works in.
- Better or worse, measured
- Each version's pass rate shows whether a change helped.
- Readable by the whole team
- Anyone can read the same plain words and change them.
In Lindy, a routine is a prompt that Lindy thinks through again on every trigger, and you check a change by dry-running it.
A team of agents, each on its own part of the job.
Kav plans the job, puts the right agent on each part and follows up until it's done, all on one calendar.
- Nothing to staff
- Kav puts the right agent on each part of the job, and builds one when none fits.
- Its own cloud computer
- A real browser and files, apart from every other agent.
- One calendar for every agent
- What's scheduled, running, waiting on you and done.
In Lindy, you work with one Lindy: a personal assistant in your DMs, and a shared teammate your team @mentions in Slack.

Common questions.
How is Kavela different from Lindy?
Lindy is an AI assistant for you and a teammate for your Slack. Kavela is a team of agents for the jobs you hand over: Kav plans each job and assigns agents, each in its own cloud computer, and a second agent checks every run before it reaches you.
How does Kavela know a run did its job?
After every run, a second agent that didn't do the work checks the result against your goal and any checklist lines you add, sends back what falls short, and tells you when a line keeps failing.
Can I use my Claude or ChatGPT subscription in Lindy?
Lindy's docs describe its work paid in Lindy credits, with the model picked for each task. In Kavela, each agent can run Claude Code on your Claude plan or Codex on your ChatGPT plan, or use the included Kav AI usage.
Do I pay for a run that fails?
Not in Kavela. A run that fails on Kavela's side uses no credits. A run that finishes, or that you stop, is billed by the minutes its agents worked.
Can I change a workflow without making it worse?
Yes. Say what should change and it becomes a new version. Each version keeps its own pass rate, so you can see whether the change helped, and go back if it didn't.
How much does Lindy cost?
Lindy is from $49.99 a month for each active user, with 5,000 credits each, and top-ups at $10 per 1,000 credits. Kavela starts with a 14-day free trial, no card, then from $30 a month billed annually, with Kav AI usage included.
