Ditto AI vs Scribe
Scribe records a process and writes the guide: steps and screenshots for people and, on Enterprise, read-only context for AI tools through its MCP server. Ditto AI records one task on your Mac and turns it into an agent that does the work, with a checked tool for each step. Pick Scribe to document and train a team; pick Ditto to hand one repeated task to Claude Code or Kiro.
The short answer
Scribe documents work. You capture a process and Scribe produces a step-by-step guide with screenshots, shared "as text, video, or on-screen guidance" (Scribe). It now also presents itself as context for AI agents: "Give your teams and AI agents the context to do their best work" (scribe.com), through a hosted MCP server on Enterprise (help). The guides are read by people and agents; Scribe itself doesn't run the task.
Ditto AI does the work. You record the task once, and Ditto turns it into an agent with a checked tool for every step, which runs in Ditto or installs into Claude Code or Kiro.
Side by side
| Ditto AI | Scribe | |
|---|---|---|
| How you capture | Press Record, do the task across your Mac apps | Chrome or Edge extension, or the desktop app: "Start Capture", then "Complete Capture"; it detects "clicks, typed entries, and page changes" (source) |
| What you get | An agent that does the task | Step-by-step guides with screenshots; Pro exports PDF, HTML and Markdown (source) |
| Where it's processed | On your Mac, plus the AI provider you choose | Scribe's cloud; Scribe AI uses "the OpenAI LLM APIs" (source) |
| In Claude Code, Kiro, Codex | Installs into Claude Code or Kiro CLI; not Codex yet | As read-only context through its hosted MCP server, "Available to Enterprise customers on select modules" (source) |
| Runs the task | Yes, with every write available as a draft first | No; it documents the task (source) |
| Platforms | macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon | Chrome and Edge on every plan; the Mac and Windows desktop app on Pro and Enterprise (source) |
| Price | Free; no paid plan yet (pricing) | Basic free; Pro Personal US$35 a seat a month (US$25 yearly); Pro Team from US$17; Enterprise custom (source) |
Where Scribe is ahead
- It documents work for people: guides with screenshots, on-screen walkthroughs, and publishing into wikis and help desks (Scribe).
- It sees a whole organisation. Optimize will "Automatically capture workflows across approved apps" and suggests what to fix or automate (Scribe).
- It runs on Windows as well as Mac, with a free tier (pricing).
- It has an enterprise track record, with SOC 2 Type II and a HIPAA BAA on Enterprise (help).
Where Ditto is different
- It hands the task off instead of writing it up. The output is an agent with a tool for every step, not a document someone follows.
- Tools are checked before the first run with one real, read-only call, and permissions come from a fixed table.
- Recordings stay on your Mac, read by the AI provider you connect.
- It's for one person's repeated task, with no enterprise contract.
Choose Scribe if
- You need SOPs, onboarding or training material for people.
- You're documenting processes across a team, on Windows or Mac, with SSO and roles.
- You want to find which processes are worth automating first.
Choose Ditto AI if
- You want the task done, not documented.
- You want the result in Claude Code or Kiro, with its tool servers attached.
- You want recordings, agents and credentials to stay on your Mac.
Can you use both?
Yes. A Scribe guide explains a process to people; a Ditto agent does one of those processes for you. They don't overlap on a Mac.
