Caddi vs. KYP.aiKYP.ai's desktop agents measure where time goes. Caddi reads your email, CRM and documents to find it, then automates it away.
KYP.ai is desktop productivity intelligence: agents measure how people spend their time, then automating the work is someone else's project. Caddi is end-to-end AI process automation: it discovers the work in the tools you already use, the person who does it builds the automation, and every run is governed.

You already know the team is stretched.
Measuring where the hours go confirms it. The question ops actually has to answer is which work to take off the plate.
Desktop agents capture how people spend their time, for productivity and capacity analysis.
Discover reads the systems the work runs through, read only, and ranks repeated tasks by hours. It ranks work, it does not score people.
Measuring the work doesn't remove it.
Getting from 'this team spends 30 percent of its week on data entry' to no data entry runs through someone building an automation.
Leaves the build to IT, an RPA team or a partner, as a separate project on another platform.
The ops person builds the automation from the finding, often the same day, by describing it in chat. No IT project.
Changed activity data isn't a record of what ran.
Impact shows up later as a different time profile, not as evidence of what the automation did on each case.
Keeps measuring team productivity, not the automations someone else builds.
Govern logs every run and decision, by AI and by people, traceable to source. 99% of agent runs complete.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best KYP.ai alternatives?
For desktop-agent capture and productivity analysis, Skan.ai and Mimica are the nearest alternatives. For event-log process mining, Celonis and IBM Process Mining. If what you actually want is fewer hours spent on repeated work, Caddi is the alternative that goes past analysis: Discover finds the repeated work in the tools you already use, Automate lets the ops person who does it build the automation, and Govern logs every run and decision.
What is productivity intelligence?
Productivity intelligence is the category KYP.ai describes itself with: software, usually a desktop agent, that captures how employees spend their working time across applications, then analyzes it for capacity, productivity and process improvement. It measures work. It does not build the automations that would change it.
Does KYP.ai build automations?
KYP.ai is an analysis product. Building the automations it points to is a separate project on another platform, usually run by IT, an RPA team or a transformation partner. Caddi builds them itself: the ops person who does the work teaches Caddi the workflow once, and Caddi builds it as verified code over APIs across 150+ tools, with every run logged in Govern.
How much does KYP.ai cost?
KYP.ai does not publish pricing; it is an enterprise subscription quoted through sales, with no free plan. Caddi publishes its pricing: Individual is free and includes Discover and Automate, Team is $250 per user per month and adds Govern, Business is $6,500 per month, and Enterprise is custom.
KYP.ai vs. Caddi: which should I choose?
Choose KYP.ai if you are running a workforce productivity measurement program or need capacity planning data across a large organization. Choose Caddi if the goal is to find the repeated work in your tools and turn it into running, governed automations without a desktop rollout or an IT project.
