Quick Take

Notis is a voice-first AI assistant built for people who live in Notion. You talk in WhatsApp/Telegram/email, and it turns those thoughts into clean Notion pages and tasks—fast. Nimo is an AI canvas for Mac/iOS that connects 100+ tools (Gmail, Sheets, Notion, Jira, Slack, and more) so you can “chat with your apps,” build automations, and prototype custom AI-powered workflows.

Short version: choose Notis if your brain is inside Notion and you want hands-free capture/automation; choose Nimo if you want a visual, app-centric AI control room on your Mac.

Feature-by-Feature: At a glance

Feature

Notis

Nimo

Capture to Notion/Docs

Native: messages and voice notes flow straight into Notion pages and databases

Indirect: focuses on orchestrating apps; can interact with Notion via connected workflows

Voice notes & transcription

Yes (WhatsApp/Telegram/iMessage/email → Notion)

Not native; rely on macOS dictation or external apps

Cross‑app integrations

800+ via Zapier/webhooks; runs from chat apps you already use

100+ via built‑in connectors on the canvas (Gmail, Sheets, Notion, Jira, Slack, etc.)

Automations & agents

Schedule prompts, reminders, webhooks; acts like an AI intern for Notion

Agentic by default; create Dynamic Apps to automate multi‑app tasks

AI writing/rewriting

Drafts notes, emails, and pages “in your style”

Writes and edits across connected apps (docs, sheets, emails)

Meeting notes

Transcribes/summarizes meetings and extracts action items into Notion

No dedicated voice meeting capture; leverage your connected meeting tools

Templates

Works with Notion templates (second‑brain setups and custom databases)

Canvas-first; relies on your arranged boards (no template library)

Analytics/insights

Minimal; focuses on capture and automation

Minimal; depends on connected apps for charts/dashboards

Collaboration/permissions

Uses Notion’s native sharing, comments, and permissions

Notes: Prices and features change; check each site for the latest details.

Key Differences (What actually matters)

  • Interaction model: Notis “lives” in chat; Nimo “lives” on a Mac/iOS canvas. If you think in messages, Notis. If you think in boards, Nimo.

  • Center of gravity: Notis builds a single source of truth in Notion. Nimo unifies many sources of truth and lets AI hop between them.

  • Speed to value: With Notis, you can be productive in minutes—send a voice note and get a polished Notion page. With Nimo, value grows as you connect apps and compose flows.

  • Mobility: Notis shines on the go (phone-first). Nimo shines at the desk (Mac-first).

  • Privacy posture: Notis processes in the cloud then writes to your Notion. Nimo emphasizes local/iCloud storage for privacy‑minded Mac users.

Who should pick what?

  • Mobile knowledge workers (consultants, founders, students): Notis. Capture by voice, get structured notes/tasks in Notion without opening a laptop.

  • Power users and AI builders (ops, analysts, product, devs): Nimo. Build custom, cross‑app automations on a canvas; chat with your tools.

  • Hybrid/experimenters: Trial both. If your workflow is Notion-centric, start with Notis. If you want a Mac-native AI control room, try Nimo’s free tier.

Pricing snapshot

  • Notis: Pro 20/mo; Pro+ 60/mo; Ultra $200/mo. Short free trials; higher tiers raise AI usage caps.

  • Nimo: Free tier with monthly credits; Pro roughly 20/mo; Infinite around 200/mo for heavy automation.

Always verify current pricing and limits on the official sites before deciding.

What to do next

  • Try Notis: send a voice note and let it draft a Notion page with action items in your existing workspace.

  • Try Nimo: connect Gmail, Notion, and Sheets; ask it to summarize a sheet and draft an email—with one prompt.

  • Decide based on where you spend your time today: mostly inside Notion (Notis) vs. across many apps on Mac (Nimo).
