TellPip

About TellPip

TellPip is a Mac-only call assistant that listens to your meetings locally without joining as a bot. It transcribes conversations on-device, remembers commitments made to each client, and can whisper answers pulled from your own documents when you're asked a question. The tool stays invisible during screen sharing and keeps all audio processing on the machine.

Review

TellPip takes a different approach from most AI notetakers by running entirely on the user's Mac. No bot dials into the call, no audio leaves the device for cloud processing. This design choice addresses privacy concerns head-on, though it also limits the tool to Apple Silicon Macs for now. The core promise is straightforward: remember what you told each client and surface that information when it matters next.

Key Features

• Listens to calls from Zoom, Meet, Teams, or any other app directly through macOS system audio capture-no meeting bot required.
• Transcribes speech on-device using a local model that handles 25 European languages and works offline.
• Responds to questions during calls with a single keypress, pulling answers from uploaded files (price lists, contracts), connected sources (Notion, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint), and past call memory.
• Generates a draft follow-up email after each call summarizing decisions and commitments, with the full transcript available for review before sending.
• Stays hidden from screen sharing and never steals focus from the call application.

Pricing and Value

TellPip offers a free trial of 5 sessions of 10 minutes each, with no credit card required. A Product Hunt launch code extends this to 7 sessions. Paid plans start at €25/month for the Solo tier and €39/month for the Everything tier during the launch period. The maker has not specified what features differentiate the two tiers or whether pricing will change after launch. Paddle handles payments, which means VAT is managed across EU countries.

Pros

• Audio stays on the Mac-transcription and search run locally, with no cloud indexing or storage of call content.
• Works across any calling app on macOS rather than integrating with specific platforms.
• Remembers per-client commitments from previous calls and surfaces them automatically on the next call with that person.
• Single-key question answering pulls from your own documents and past calls without breaking conversational flow.
• The window remains invisible in screen sharing and doesn't steal focus, two details the maker prioritized in the native helper implementation.

Cons

• Mac-only and requires Apple Silicon, which excludes Windows users and Intel Mac owners entirely.
• Not well suited for job interview scenarios or situations where assisted recall might be perceived as inauthentic by the other party.
• CRM integration is not yet available-the maker is currently collecting user feedback on which CRMs to support, so workflows requiring CRM sync will need a manual step.

TellPip fits professionals who run client-facing calls and need to track small commitments across multiple relationships: lawyers, accountants, consultants, freelancers, and salespeople. The local-only architecture makes it relevant for those handling sensitive information under GDPR or similar requirements. It's less appropriate for teams that need cross-platform support or deep CRM integration, at least in its current state.
