Lindy Launches Slack AI Teammate: CEO Details Agentic Memory & Infra
The Cognitive Revolution · youtube · 2026-08-11
Flo Crivello launched Lindy Teammate, a new AI employee residing in Slack that connects to company tools and accumulates shared team context.
In the podcast, he dives deep into the engineering practices and business realities of building multi-agent products:
- Memory & Context Systems: Arguing that "intelligence without context is less useful than an ordinary coworker," he shared Lindy’s architecture for agentic memory, editable file systems, context buckets, and handling large-scale tool outputs.
- Business & Operating Realities: Discussed the negative gross margins currently plaguing agent businesses, the impact of cache rates on costs, and Lindy's own dogfooding in engineering workflows.
- AI Native Organizations: Explored the upcoming "Centaur era" and how engineers will transition into managing machines that do the actual work.
- Security & Model Stack: Crivello stated he would advocate for banning Chinese AI models despite using them, while also discussing threat models and audit strategies.
