Where is each one ahead?

Each one wins somewhere. These are the differences that decide which one fits the work, each from its maker’s own page.

Where Minda is ahead

Works in your own signed-in accounts, each workspace’s sign-ins kept apart, so one agent can work in several accounts of one site at once.
Any AI model: Minda SI credits, your own key from six AI makers, or a model on your own computer through Ollama.
Unlimited scheduled tasks and automations on every plan, and cloud automations that run while your computer is off.
A published list of what leaves your computer, feature by feature, and one switch that keeps the SI on it.

Where Dia is ahead

Skills made from a single sentence, with its natural-language skill builder. Source
Extensions, their order and their on or off state sync across devices, profile by profile. Source
GitHub Live Tab Groups update the moment something changes. Source

What does Minda not do yet?

Its limits, from the same facts as its answers.

Not out yet: Minda Super Intelligence for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) is coming soon; macOS and Linux builds are not published yet.
No store app on a phone: on a phone, Minda is a web app, not an App Store or Google Play app.
Not every Chrome extension: Minda installs them from the Web Store, but support is not full Chrome parity.
Local schedules need Minda open: tasks on your computer run while Minda is running, and cloud automations never read signed-in pages.

How this page was made

Minda’s column comes from Minda’s own product facts, the same ones the rest of this site uses.
Every other product’s answer links to the page of its maker it was read from. The lists below give each page and the day it was read.
No means its maker says it does not, or not yet. Not listed means the maker’s pages that were read do not mention it; it is never shown as No.
Not checked yet means no page of its maker answered it when this page was checked: none was read for it, or its answer could not be read. It is left out of every count.
Each answer is written in our own words from the maker’s page. The page compares what each product does, not how well: one row can hide a big difference in depth.
No prices: plans change often, and each maker’s own pricing page is the place to check them.

Does Minda run on a Mac?

Not yet. Minda Super Intelligence for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) is coming soon; macOS and Linux builds are not published yet.
