Sanaf AI Solutions vs Lindy
The short answer: Lindy and Sanaf are now the same kind of product, an AI employee your team hands work to in chat, and the differences are where it lives and how you pay. Lindy lives in Slack, email and iMessage, takes meetings and calls, and bills every active user in the workspace. Sanaf works in Slack and Microsoft Teams, holds a written job description for each job it takes, and bills only for the work it does, with no seats. If your team runs on Slack and wants meeting notes, iMessage and calls in one assistant, Lindy is a strong pick. If you run on Microsoft Teams, or want a whole company to hand it work without paying per person, choose Sanaf.

An illustration of how the conversation reads, not a transcript from a client account.
Lindy started as a builder for automations and relaunched as a teammate. On 25 October 2026 its homepage read "Lindy is the AI employee that plugs into your tools, learns how you work, and takes real work off your plate." It ships with more than 40 skills, keeps its memory in plain files you can open and edit, runs routines on a schedule, learns a task from a screen recording, records meetings into a shared library, and asks for approval before anything with outside impact. It is a capable product and a close match for ours.
So the choice is no longer hire versus build. It comes down to three things. Where your team works: Lindy is reached in Slack, by email and over iMessage, while Microsoft Teams is an app it can post messages to rather than a place you work with it. How you pay: Lindy bills every person who uses it, including anyone who mentions it in Slack once a short trial ends, while Sanaf has no seats. And how the work is held: Sanaf takes each job with its own written job description, its own logins and its own approval rules.
How the two models differ
| Dimension | Sanaf AI Solutions | Lindy |

| Where you work with it | Sanaf AI Solutions: Slack, Microsoft Teams, and its own chat in the console | Lindy: Slack, email, iMessage and a Gmail extension; Microsoft Teams only as an app it can post to |
| Who can hand it work | Sanaf AI Solutions: Anyone in the workspace, at no extra cost per person | Lindy: Anyone with a paid seat; people who mention it in Slack become a seat after a short trial |
| Approvals | Sanaf AI Solutions: Per kind of action: do it, ask, or never, with conditions; stricter when unattended | Lindy: Anything with outside impact waits for approval; read-only lookups do not |

| Meetings and calls | Sanaf AI Solutions: Does not join or record meetings, and does not make calls | Lindy: Joins and records meetings into a shared library, and makes and takes calls on its own number |
| Memory and learning | Sanaf AI Solutions: Proposes versioned changes to its own instructions, with citations, for you to approve | Lindy: Memory in plain files you can edit, skills you save once for the team, and learning from a screen recording |
| Compliance today | Sanaf AI Solutions: SOC 2 through the connection layer and hosting; our own audit is planned | Lindy: Its own SOC 2 Type II report, with HIPAA, SSO and audit logs on the enterprise tier |
| Pricing model | Sanaf AI Solutions: Free to start with $120 of credit and no card, then credits from $20 as you need them. They never expire, and you pay for the work, not per seat | Lindy: Billed per active user on a monthly plan; monthly credits do not roll over; the free trial credit lasts seven days |
