How Actions work
- Connect Gmail, Linear, Jira or Notion in OGAD.
- Off Grid AI finds what you owe people from your meetings, mail and screens.
- It drafts the reply or the issue, with the source it came from.
- You open Actions, read each draft, and approve or reject it.
- History shows what was sent and what you turned down.
You can also set rules in God, such as "never send anything to Acme without asking."
More than an inbox assistant
The same Pro key covers the rest of your day:
- Memory. Screens, meetings, mail and documents become one local memory you can search and ask.
- God, your chief of staff. A morning brief, your routines, meeting prep and what people owe you.
- Reflect. Where your day went, by project, app and person.
- Vault, Clipboard and Sync. Encrypted secrets, a searchable clipboard, and your phone and computer in sync, device to device.
One key covers up to 5 devices.
When Lindy is the better pick
Lindy reaches you in more places. It works in Slack, over iMessage and on phone calls. It shares a meeting library across a team. It also works on any computer, because its models run in the cloud. OGAD needs a computer that can run a local model.
If your team wants one shared assistant across many apps, Lindy is built for that. If you want one assistant for your own work that keeps your mail and calls on your machine, use OGAD.
