Beyond running your inbox and meetings, Lindy handles one-off tasks whenever you need something done. Just ask.

## Research

Lindy combines your **work context** (emails, meetings, calendar) with **deep web research** to give you thorough, relevant answers.

* **Prep for a meeting**: "Research \[company] before my meeting tomorrow." Lindy pulls company info, recent news, and cross-references with your past interactions
* **Industry research**: "What's the latest on \[industry topic]?" Web research grounded in what's relevant to your work
* **Summarize content**: Send any URL or YouTube link and get the key points back
* **Competitive intel**: "What is \[company] announcing this quarter?" Lindy finds public info and connects it to your deals and conversations
* **People research**: "What do I know about \[name]?" Lindy pulls from your emails, meetings, and the web

## Knowledge Bank

Lindy remembers everything from your past emails and meetings. Ask questions anytime:

* **Recall conversations**: "What did \[name] say about pricing in our last call?"
* **Find emails**: "Find the email where \[name] sent the contract"
* **Check history**: "When was my last meeting with \[company]?"
* **Surface action items**: "What were the action items from last week's team sync?"
* **Track commitments**: "What did I promise \[name] I'd send them?"
