Lynda AI: The Executive Assistant That Finally Fixes Email

Drowning in emails? What if an AI executive assistant could clear your inbox, draft replies, and keep you focused on real work? That’s exactly what Lynda AI is designed to do—an agent built to finally deliver on the promise of inbox zero.

Marc sits down with co-founder David Brennan to explore how Lynda AI went from a two-day proof of concept to a fully working product with paying customers in just three months. Instead of clunky rules and filters, Lynda AI uses large-language-model agents to understand context, sort Gmail automatically, and even draft responses so you only touch the emails that matter.

David shares how early user feedback reshaped the product—scrapping unnecessary interfaces and keeping the experience inside Gmail where people are already comfortable. They also dive into the bigger vision: expanding from inbox management to calendars, team-wide support, and even texting or calling your AI assistant to schedule meetings or book travel.

This isn’t about replacing humans—it’s about giving founders and small teams back hours of deep focus every week by eliminating the endless drag of email. Brennan explains why an AI-first approach lets them move faster than ever, and why overwhelmed professionals are lining up to say: “If you solve this for me, I’m in.”
