Mindy

What is Mindy?

Mindy is a virtual assistant that works entirely through email. You send a message describing what you need — research, scheduling, summarizing, shopping — and it acts on the request. For example, you can ask it to book a lunch near SFO airport within a set budget, and it confirms once the event is scheduled. Users cite it as useful for searching, summarizing, writing, and scheduling, all from their inbox.

Who created Mindy?

Mindy was built by the original team behind PayPal and YouTube, with Rowan Cheung (also involved with The Rundown AI) as a key figure. The product launched as an AI agent that independently handles tasks through email, positioned as an email-first Chief of Staff that simplifies daily tasks and boosts productivity.

What is Mindy used for?

• Writing content and providing writing assistance
• Scheduling appointments, meetings, and events
• Summarizing information and distilling insights from data
• Researching topics and searching for information
• Shopping for deals
• Coordinating tasks and organizing meetings
• Learning your personal preferences and completing tasks autonomously within your email

Who is Mindy for?

Mindy targets AI specialists, entrepreneurs, investors, founders, and anyone who wants an AI agent that operates from their inbox.

Getting started

Mindy requires no separate app. Message it with your question or task, include relevant details (such as location and budget for a meeting), and it notifies you when the task is complete. Over time, it learns your preferences, improving how it solves problems and coordinates tasks. The Mindy blog covers product updates and news.
