Need tool access beyond pre-built connectors?
DataFaucet works with any web app, including internal tools Lindy can't connect to.
Lindy AI is a complete agent platform. You describe what you want in natural language, pick from pre-built integrations (Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, etc.), and Lindy builds an agent that runs on triggers or schedules. The trade-off is you're limited to their connector library.
DataFaucet works at the tool layer. It generates API access from any web app by capturing real browser traffic. The output is a standard MCP server that any client can consume. No agent logic, no triggers, just clean tool endpoints that work with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and anything else that speaks MCP.
Choose based on what you need: Lindy for complete automated workflows on supported apps. DataFaucet for tool access to anything, consumed from any AI client.
