Ditto AI vs Minded
Both learn a task from watching you do it once. Minded records in Chrome and turns the recording into a skill its own agent runs, reached from Slack, Teams, Gmail or the browser and paid for in credits. Ditto AI records a task across your Mac apps, keeps the recording on your Mac, and turns it into an agent with a checked tool for each step that runs in Ditto, Claude Code or Kiro.
The short answer
Minded makes the same promise, for business teams in the browser. Its home page says "Teach Minded new tasks by showing him once. Walk through a task once. Minded turns it into a repeatable skill it runs on its own" (minded.com). It records through a Chrome extension, and its agent is reached from "Chrome Slack Teams Gmail" (minded.com). Minded's own article is honest that "Recording is not magic": parameters, conditions and error handling still need design (Minded blog).
Ditto AI is for your Mac, and for the AI tools you already run. It records across desktop apps and sites, keeps the recording on the Mac, and hands you an agent with a checked tool for each step that runs in Ditto or installs into Claude Code or Kiro.
Side by side
| Ditto AI | Minded | |
|---|---|---|
| What it records | One task across your Mac apps, while you record it | In Chrome: "the clicks, typing, navigation, screenshots, uploads, downloads, and optional voice context" (source) |
| Where it's processed | On your Mac, plus the AI provider you choose | In Minded's cloud: "Cloud infrastructure with hardened defaults" (source) |
| What you get | An agent: steps with evidence, inputs, a checked tool per step, a permission policy | "a repeatable skill it runs on its own" (source) |
| Where it runs | Ditto, Claude Code or Kiro CLI | Minded's own agent, from "Slack, web and the browser extension" (source). No MCP or skill export is mentioned (source) |
| Before a write | Writes can be held as drafts; it asks before deleting, sending somewhere new, or anything unrecorded | "Writes, sends, and spends stop and ask first, and your answer is logged on the run" (source) |
| Permissions | A fixed table per tool; unknown counts as a write | OAuth with "Per-tool scopes, chosen by the tool owner", granted "Once, for this task, or always for this tool" (source) |
| Platforms | macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon | Chrome, Slack, Teams and Gmail (source) |
| Price | Free; no paid plan yet (pricing) | Credits, "1 credit = 1¢ of finished work": Starter from US$9.99, Pro US$50/month, Business US$1,500/month (source) |
Where Minded is ahead
- It works where business teams already are: Chrome, Slack, Teams and Gmail. Ditto needs a Mac with Apple silicon.
- It finds work on its own. It "spots the work before you assign it" (minded.com).
- It's built for teams: scheduled tasks, shared workspaces, roles, and on-demand human experts on Business (pricing).
- It connects to "3000+ tools" on every plan (minded.com).
- It has vendor assurances: "SOC 2 Type II and GDPR ready" (security).
Where Ditto is different
- Desktop apps, not only browser tabs. A task that crosses a Mac app and a web service is one recording: creating a Linear issue and putting its link in Apple Notes is one of the runs verified on real accounts.
- The recording stays on your Mac, and it's read by your own AI provider account.
- It hands the agent to your AI tools. The result installs into Claude Code or Kiro with its MCP servers and allowlist, instead of living in another vendor's agent.
- Every step shows its evidence, and every tool is checked with a read-only call before the first run.
Choose Minded if
- Your team's repeated work happens in web apps, and nobody wants to write code.
- You want an agent in Slack, Teams or Gmail, running on schedules for the whole team.
- You need SOC 2, shared workspaces and people on call.
- You aren't on an Apple silicon Mac.
Choose Ditto AI if
- Your task crosses desktop apps and files on your Mac.
- You want recordings, agents and credentials kept on your Mac.
- You're a developer who wants the agent in Claude Code or Kiro.
- You want each step to cite its evidence, and permissions from a fixed table.
