An honest comparison

Riley vs Lindy

Lindy is a builder where you assemble and maintain your own agents from scratch. Riley arrives already built for one job: it watches a client location, drafts the fix, routes it for your approval in Slack, and hands you a signed proof receipt every week.

Build it vs already built

Both can run agents. One you build, one is built for you.

Lindy hands you the parts. You design the flows, wire the triggers, and own keeping them working as things change. Riley is set up around one job for local marketing agencies: watch a client location, draft the fix, get your sign-off, verify it, and prove it. Here is the difference, line by line.

LindyBuild-your-own agent platform
RileyOut-of-the-box proof worker
Setup
You build the agent: design the flow, wire the triggers, pick the steps.
Already built for one job. Connect a client location, set your approval rules, and Riley starts.
Who maintains it
You do. When a flow breaks or a tool changes, you go fix it.
We maintain the job. The reputation loop is the product, not a flow you babysit.
The work
Whatever you assemble. The scope is up to how you wire it.
One clear loop. Watch a client location, draft the fix, route approval in Slack, verify the change.
Approval
Optional. You have to design the human-in-the-loop step yourself.
Built-in approval gate. Each fix waits for your yes in Slack before anything goes out.
Proof
Run logs and traces, for whoever built the agent to read.
Signed weekly receipts. What changed, what was verified, honestly noted.
Resell to clients
It is infrastructure you build on, not a deliverable for the client.
Yes. The signed receipt is something you hand the client.
Best for
Teams that want to build custom agents across many use cases.
Agencies proving local-reputation work, week after week.

Use Lindy when you want to build your own agents. When the job is watching a client's local reputation and proving the work, that is the job Riley was built for.

See the first signed receipt, then decide.

Set Riley up around one client, approve the work, and watch the proof land. Nothing to run after setup.
