Mimir vs Dotted

Dotted and Mimir use AI for product management, but they solve completely different problems. Dotted focuses on the operational side: automating status updates, generating plans from goals, and connecting your tools so routine PM work happens automatically. Its tagline — 'your status updates write themselves' — captures the promise well.

Mimir focuses on the strategic side: analyzing customer feedback to figure out what to build. It ingests interviews, support tickets, and usage data, then synthesizes patterns into ranked recommendations with evidence, impact projections, and development-ready specs. Dotted makes the PM process smoother. Mimir makes the PM decisions better.

These are different bottlenecks. If your team loses hours every week writing status updates and syncing across tools, Dotted removes that overhead. If your team struggles to turn customer feedback into clear product priorities, Mimir solves that problem.

Dotted is useful when PM overhead is the problem. Status updates, progress reports, and plan documentation are necessary but time-consuming artifacts that take PMs away from higher-value work. Dotted connects to your existing tools and automatically synthesizes activity into updates, so you spend less time reporting and more time thinking.

The goal-to-plan generation is also practical. Describe what you want to accomplish, and Dotted structures it into an actionable plan. For teams that need to move fast and keep stakeholders informed without manual effort, that workflow saves real time.

The fundamental difference is what each tool does with AI. Dotted uses AI to automate things you already know how to do — writing updates, generating plans, summarizing progress. It makes existing workflows faster.

Mimir uses AI to do something you can't easily do manually — synthesize patterns across dozens of customer interviews, cross-reference support tickets with usage data, and generate evidence-based product recommendations with impact projections. It's not automating your current process; it's giving you a capability you didn't have before.

Many teams need both: Dotted to reduce the operational tax of being a PM, and Mimir to make sure the work you're reporting on is actually the right work to be doing.
