About Tenali AI - The Sales Engineer
What Is Tenali AI
Tenali AI is a real-time call assistant built for sales teams. During a live call, it listens to the conversation and puts answers to pricing, technical and competitive questions on your screen. Reps don't have to switch tabs or stall the buyer while they look something up.
The tool runs as a background desktop app on macOS and Windows. It captures your microphone and system audio on the device, so it works across the meeting and dialer apps you already use. Nothing gets added to the meeting as a participant. There's no bot that shows up in the participant list.
It pulls answers from your own knowledge sources, not from the open web, so every rep and sales engineer gets the same reply to the same question. After the call, summaries and transcripts land in the web app for follow-up. The main thing to know up front: the knowledge base is only as good as what your team feeds it, so answer quality depends on keeping sources current.
Getting Started
- Download the desktop app for Mac or Windows and sign in with your work email.
- Grant the permissions the app asks for. Windows needs microphone access. macOS needs microphone, screen recording and accessibility permissions for live call behavior.
- Connect your knowledge sources and create an account so the assistant can pull answers.
- Start or join a call in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or another supported platform. The app detects the meeting and shows a card you click to join.
- Take the call and read answers from the overlay; review the summary and transcript afterward in the web app.

Key features
Real-Time Answer Overlay
During a live call, Tenali AI listens to the conversation and shows answers in a small overlay on your screen. It handles pricing, technical, product and competitive questions as they come up. The point is speed: you get the answer while the buyer is still talking, not after the call. On technical sales calls it works much like an AI sales engineer sitting beside the rep.
Bot-Free Audio Capture
The desktop app captures your microphone and system audio on your own machine, so no bot joins the meeting and nothing shows up in the participant list. Buyers see a normal call. This also means it works on platforms that don't support meeting bots, including phone calls and browser-based video.
Knowledge-Backed Answers
Answers come from the sources your team connects, not from general web search. That keeps replies consistent across reps and keeps pricing and technical details aligned with your own materials. Answer quality tracks directly with how well those sources are maintained.
MCP Server Access
Tenali AI ships a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes meetings, transcripts, action items and Question Intelligence to tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Cursor. It's included on every plan, so there's no separate MCP server for sales teams to buy. Teams can pull call data into the AI tools they already use.
CRM Agents for HubSpot and Salesforce
Dedicated agents connect the assistant to your CRM. The HubSpot agent updates records from the call, and the Salesforce agent answers pipeline questions. It turns a live-call tool into part of the follow-through workflow instead of a standalone assistant.
Broad Platform and Integration Support
Tenali AI integrates natively with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Slack, where it detects calls and captures audio and video metadata. It also assists on Webex, RingCentral, Dialpad, Aircall, Outreach, Salesloft and phone calls through universal audio capture, so most teams can keep their current stack.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Answers arrive during the call, so reps don't stall buyers while they look things up.
- Runs without a meeting bot, which keeps calls looking normal to buyers and works on platforms that block bots.
- Answers come from your own sources, so pricing and technical replies stay consistent across the team.
- The MCP server is included on every plan, so call data can feed the AI tools teams already use.
- Native support for major meeting platforms plus dialers covers most sales stacks without new tooling.
Cons
- There's no free plan, so testing it means paying the $39/mo starting price.
- Answer quality depends on your knowledge sources being complete and current, which takes ongoing upkeep.
- macOS requires microphone, screen recording and accessibility permissions, which some IT teams restrict.
- Universal-capture platforms need you to start recording manually and don't capture screen content.
Frequently asked questions
It listens to your live sales calls and shows answers to pricing, technical and competitive questions on your screen in real time. After the call, it produces a summary, transcript and action items, and can update your CRM.
