Move your team from Lindy to Make.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Make — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in Lindy is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both platforms support autonomous AI agents that go beyond fixed automation steps and can reason over goals, process data dynamically, and collaborate across tasks. Lindy's 'agent swarms' feature lets a single agent duplicate itself to run many tasks in parallel (e.g. sending hundreds of personalized emails simultaneously), while separate Lindy agents can hand work off to each other — one qualifies leads, another sends follow-ups, a third updates the CRM. Make's AI agents are built directly on the scenario canvas using the same module interface, and can adaptively choose execution paths, process files, query historical data, and integrate with 400+ AI models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek). To migrate multi-agent orchestration from Lindy to Make: map each Lindy agent's role and handoff conditions to a Make scenario with an AI agent module; use Make's routing and filtering to replicate handoff logic between scenarios. To migrate from Make to Lindy: convert AI agent scenarios into named Lindies with defined roles and goals, and set the trigger for each to match how the Make scenario was called.
- Warning: Lindy's swarm parallelism (many identical agent instances running at once) is a core product feature; Make does not natively parallelize agent runs in the same way — replicating high-volume parallel execution in Make may require chaining multiple scenarios or using an iterator module.
- Warning: Make AI agents are available on Core plan ($10.59/month) and above; the Free plan does not include AI agent functionality. Lindy's agent platform is separate from its personal-assistant plans and has different pricing.
- Warning: Lindy agents communicate in natural language and share context through defined roles; Make agents reason step-by-step with logged reasoning traces but coordination between separate Make scenarios requires explicit data-passing via shared data stores or webhooks.
Both platforms provide large libraries of pre-built app connectors that supply triggers and actions for automation workflows. Lindy advertises 'hundreds of popular tools' on its agent builder page, with coverage cited as 1,600–4,000+ apps including Gmail, Google Docs, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub, and Airtable; a generic Webhook connector extends coverage further. Make's library lists 3,520+ verified connectors spanning the same categories, plus an HTTP module for any REST API not in the catalog. When switching platforms, map each connected app on the source side to its counterpart on the destination side — most major apps (Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Airtable) appear in both catalogs. Reconnect each integration by authorizing the app under a new connection in Make's connection manager, or under Lindy's integrations panel. Re-test triggers and actions after migration since field names and payload shapes can differ between the two implementations of the same connector.
- Warning: Make's 3,520+ connector count is larger and more consistently documented than Lindy's stated range; niche apps present in Make may not have a native Lindy connector and will need a Webhook workaround in Lindy.
- Warning: Lindy gates the full connector library to its agent platform plans; the personal-assistant plans advertise '100+ integrations across email, calendar, CRM, docs, and team apps,' which is a narrower set.
- Warning: Connection credentials and OAuth tokens do not transfer between platforms — every app integration must be re-authorized on the destination side.
Both platforms provide a mechanism for grounding AI agents in proprietary business data so that automated responses and decisions are based on real company content rather than generic LLM knowledge. Lindy's Knowledge Base lets agents query uploaded documents, connected sources (Google Docs, Notion, Intercom, websites), and individual files; every answer includes source annotations. Make's MCP Server exposes business systems and data sources to external AI models via the Model Context Protocol, while the MCP Client allows Make scenarios to pull context from external MCP-compatible services. To migrate a knowledge-grounding workflow from Lindy to Make: identify the data sources the Lindy Knowledge Base indexes (Google Drive, Notion pages, websites); in Make, connect those same sources via app modules (Google Drive 'Search Files', Notion 'Get Page') within the scenario, or expose them through the MCP Server so connected AI models can query them. To migrate from Make to Lindy: add the same data sources as Knowledge Base entries in Lindy's settings, enable 'Resync Knowledge Base Source' to refresh content, then instruct the Lindy agent to reference the Knowledge Base before answering.
- Warning: Lindy's Knowledge Base is a RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) system with source annotations and an explicit 'no limit on data' claim; Make's MCP Server is a connectivity layer, not a vector search index — it does not provide chunked retrieval or citation tracking out of the box.
- Warning: Make's MCP Server is positioned as an enterprise feature; it is not available on Make's Free or Core plans. Lindy's Knowledge Base is available within its agent platform plans.
- Warning: Lindy's 'Resync Knowledge Base Entry' action allows scheduled refresh of specific sources; Make scenarios serving as data-query layers require manual updates to module configuration when source schemas change.
Both platforms let non-technical users build multi-step automations visually without code. In Lindy, automations are AI agents ('Lindies') built by selecting a trigger event, giving natural-language instructions, and connecting apps via the agent builder. In Make, the equivalent is a 'scenario' — a canvas where you drag and drop app modules and connect them with wires to define data flow. To migrate from Lindy to Make: document each Lindy agent's trigger (e.g. 'new email received'), its action steps (e.g. 'draft reply', 'update CRM'), and any conditional logic; then recreate each step as a Make module on the canvas. To migrate from Make to Lindy: export or screenshot your scenario structure, recreate the trigger in Lindy's trigger picker, and replace each Make module with a Lindy action using natural-language instructions. Both products offer pre-built templates — check each marketplace before rebuilding from scratch.
- Warning: Lindy agents are AI-first: instructions are written in natural language and the agent interprets intent. Make scenarios are deterministic: each module performs an exact configured action. Complex Lindy instructions that rely on LLM judgment may need multiple Make modules with router/filter steps to replicate.
- Warning: Make's Free plan caps at 2 active scenarios simultaneously; Lindy does not publish a hard cap on active agents but gates advanced capabilities (computer use, extra inboxes) by plan tier.
- Warning: Make exports scenarios as JSON blueprint files, so you can back up or share configuration. Lindy has no documented bulk export format for agent configs.
Both platforms model automation as a trigger-then-action chain that can run on a schedule or in response to real-time events. Lindy calls its workflow builder 'Rails': a workflow starts from a trigger (e.g. 'email received', 'scheduled time') and then performs a sequence of actions across connected accounts, with support for conditional flows and multi-step processes. Make calls the equivalent a 'scenario': a scheduled or webhook-triggered chain of modules. To migrate from Lindy to Make: identify the trigger type (event-based or time-based), recreate it as a Make trigger module (Watch Email, Scheduled, or Webhook), then add an action module for each Lindy action step. To migrate from Make to Lindy: map each Make module to a Lindy action type in the Rails builder, set the matching trigger, and write natural-language instructions for any logic that was handled by Make's router or filter modules. Both platforms support branching (Lindy: conditional flows; Make: routers and filters).
- Warning: Make's Free plan enforces a 15-minute minimum interval between scheduled scenario runs; Core plan and above allow 1-minute intervals. Lindy does not publish a minimum scheduling interval, but real-time event triggers in Lindy depend on webhook delivery from connected apps.
- Warning: Make scenarios can run for up to 40 minutes per execution on Core+ plans; very long-running Lindy agents may behave differently under Make's execution time limits.
- Warning: Lindy's conditional logic is expressed in natural language and interpreted by the AI; Make's routing is deterministic (filter conditions, routers). Migrate Lindy conditionals by translating them into explicit Make filter conditions.
