Caddi vs. MimicaMimica records desktops. Caddi connects to your email, CRM and documents, ranks the repeat work by hours, and automates it.
Mimica is desktop task mining: a recorder maps the tasks, then an automation team builds them. 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.

A capture period stands between you and the first finding.
The recorder goes onto each machine after IT and privacy sign-off, then runs until there is enough to map.
A desktop recorder captures the work, and Mimica maps the tasks and scores the automation opportunities.
Discover reads the trail the work already leaves in email, the DMS, the CRM and e-signature, read only. No recorder, no capture window.
An opportunity list needs someone to build it.
Each candidate becomes its own project with scoping, build, testing and support, on an RPA platform you may not have.
Feeds the opportunity list to your RPA or automation platform, built by your developers or a partner.
The ops person builds it straight from the finding, and Caddi writes verified code over APIs. About 45 minutes on average to the first agent.
After it's automated, who ran what, and why?
Monitoring on the RPA platform sits apart from the task maps that justified the build.
Monitoring and maintenance live on the RPA platform, separate from the task maps.
Govern logs every run and every decision in the same product, so the finding, the build and the record stay together.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best Mimica alternatives?
Other desktop task mining tools such as Skan.ai and KYP.ai are the closest like-for-like options. Event-log process mining (Celonis, IBM Process Mining) suits ERP-heavy processes. If you want the work found and then built and governed in the same product, without a separate RPA program, Caddi is the alternative: 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 Mimica AI?
Mimica is a task mining product. A recorder on employee desktops captures how people work, Mimica maps the tasks from that capture, and it produces an automation opportunity analysis. It is aimed at automation centers of excellence and BPO or shared-service operations. Building the automations happens on your RPA or automation platform.
Does Mimica build automations?
No. Mimica maps tasks and identifies what could be automated; the automation itself is built on your RPA or automation platform by your automation team or a partner. Caddi builds the automation itself: the ops person who does the work teaches Caddi the workflow once, or hits Build next on a Discover finding, and Caddi builds it as verified code over APIs across 150+ tools.
How much does Mimica cost?
Mimica does not publish pricing; it is an enterprise subscription quoted by sales, with no free plan. Caddi's pricing is published: Individual is free (Discover and Automate, one user, no time limit), Team is $250 per user per month and adds Govern, Business is $6,500 per month, and Enterprise is custom.
Mimica vs. Caddi: which should I choose?
Choose Mimica if you run a BPO or shared-service center with an existing RPA program and need to map desktop work at scale to feed that program's pipeline. Choose Caddi if you do not have an RPA team, your work runs through connected tools, and you want one product that finds the work, builds it and governs it.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Mimica?
Yes. Caddi Discover is free on the Individual plan and usually returns ranked findings in 15 to 30 minutes, with no desktop recorder to deploy. Automate is on the same free plan, so you can build the first automation before spending anything.
