Building AI Agents for Future Generations: Lindy's Journey in a Rapidly Evolving Market

Join me, Flo Killo, CEO of Lindy, as I share my entrepreneurial journey, from building Team Flow to creating the world's easiest way to build AI agents with no code.

1. If you're not embarrassed by your first version, you shipped too late in AI.
2. Thinking big means that your first version should barely work with current models.
3. The AI market is huge, but it may feel empty because of the vastness and competition.
4. Users want an easy-to-use, effective, simple, affordable, and fast solution for their problems.
5. Preferences of users remain constant, even as technology changes rapidly.
6. Lindy's platform has quintupled its revenue in 6 months and doubled its team size since then.
7. Users requested HIPPA compliance for healthcare use cases, highlighting a big industry and need.
8. AI agents can be used to help doctors with charting during patient visits by transcribing conversations into notes.
9. Models are improving rapidly, so build for future generations of models rather than current ones.
10. Anticipate simple tasks that an AI agent can perform, and work towards full-blown AI employees in the long term.
11. Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been; focus on building for the next generation of models.
12. Startups should first prospect (look for the right mining site) and then build a mine (hire a team and raise money).
13. It's essential to destroy a mine that isn't producing gold (i.e., fire your team if you haven't found success).
14. Inspiration can come from unexpected sources, like blog posts or current events.
15. Look for opportunities to pivot or expand your product offerings based on user feedback and market demand.
16. The role of a CEO is to win; setting the vision and guiding the company towards success is key.
17. Hiring the right people is half the battle in building a successful company.
18. Clearly define expectations, processes, and standards for your team to follow.
19. Micromanage when necessary, as it's essential to exercise your taste, judgment, and knowledge about your business.
20. Aim for definite optimism, having a well-defined opinion of what the world will look like in the future.
21. AI agents will transform work by making everyone managers, overseeing a team of AI agents performing tasks.
22. AI will level the playing field in business, allowing opportunities for those with vision and ideas rather than just connections or capital.
23. AI agents can have significant impacts on various industries, similar to how the internet transformed media.
24. The future of AI is promising, with more widespread use and integration expected in the coming years.
