Dovetail — Centralize customer signal, analyze it with AI, and route it to the teams that act on it.
Limitation: Its agent surface exposes the repository itself: projects, docs, highlights, and transcripts an AI tool can search and add to. What crosses the seam is source material, not a decision. Pathmode hands the agent the judgment instead — objective, outcomes, constraints, edge cases, and verification, each anchored to the evidence that justified it.
Pathmode — Compile user evidence into structured IntentSpecs, deliver context to AI agents via MCP, and verify real-world impact when features ship.
