The visible AI assistants + automation loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Lindy earns its keep through connectors, auth, reliability, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Build a deliberately narrow personal substitute for Lindy, not a full clone. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + BullMQ. Primary job: Build one explicit AI assistants + automation workflow with a trigger, validated steps, retries, logs, and a manual replay button. Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project. Functional Requirements: - Workflow Definition: Hardcode a specific AI automation pipeline (e.g., Email received -> LLM summarizes -> Slack message sent). Do not build a generic visual workflow builder. - Step Validation: Enforce strict schemas for the input and output of each step in the pipeline using Zod or similar. - Background Execution: Use BullMQ to reliably process the workflow in the background, ensuring no tasks are dropped. - Log Dashboard: Create a minimalistic Next.js dashboard to view execution logs, payload hashes, and error traces. - Replay: Include a manual "replay" button to restart a failed job from the point of failure. Architecture & State: - Make the default mode single-user and private. - Store user data and job state locally in PostgreSQL and Redis (for BullMQ). - Do not add analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts. - Put every secret (API keys for LLM and integrations) in .env and provide .env.example. UI/UX & States: - Implement the smallest polished interface that completes the core loop end to end. - Include clear empty (no job runs), loading, validation, success, and failure states in the dashboard. - Add an export button to download the job logs as CSV. - Use accessible keyboard navigation, labels, focus states, and sensible contrast. Security & Constraints: - Validate untrusted input and never log secrets or private file contents. - Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: schema drift handling; enterprise controls; sender reputation and deliverability management; hundreds of maintained connectors. - Do not fake integrations, network effects, proprietary data, model quality, compliance, or security claims. Testing & DevOps: - Write focused unit tests for the data model, step validation logic, and the most important workflow. - Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works. - Create a README with setup, permissions, architecture, data location, backup, and limitations. - Add scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run using Docker Compose. - Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them.
