Meet Tessa — recurring AI voice check-ins

Stop chasing updates. Tessa calls your team — and tells you what matters.

Set up a recurring check-in in about two minutes. Tessa calls, texts, WhatsApps, emails, or Slacks each person on your cadence, asks your questions, and sends you a digest of what she heard.

No meetings. No forms. No accounts for your team.

How it works

Three steps. Then it runs itself.

You set it up once. Tessa handles every check-in after that.

1
Pick

Pick a template

Start from a proven check-in — sales, standups, pulse, field crews. Every question is yours to edit.

  • 5 templates written by people who run these meetings
  • Edit, add, reorder questions
  • Set the cadence — daily, weekly, your call
2
Invite

Invite your team

Add names, emails, or phone numbers. Members never need an account or an app — Tessa texts a heads-up before her first call.

  • Members are free, always
  • Instant membership — no invite-accept dance
  • Anyone can say SKIP; Tessa respects it
3
Digest

Tessa calls. You read the digest.

On schedule, Tessa reaches each person on their best channel, asks your questions, listens, and reports back.

  • Full transcripts + the 30-second summary
  • Trends across weeks
  • Reply to the digest to steer next week's questions
Meet Tessa

She’s a team member, not a form.

Tessa has her own phone number and her own inbox. Your team can call her back, text her, WhatsApp her, email her, or DM her on Slack — and she remembers every conversation.

Distributed team? Tessa can hold a local number in every country you operate — members get a local call, not an international one.

Talk to sales
After the call

The call ends. The value doesn’t.

Every check-in becomes searchable knowledge — and Tessa notices who should be talking to whom.

The digest

Owners get the summary: blockers, commitments, trends — without holding a single meeting.

The feed

Everyone finds what they need: answers, decisions, and who said what, searchable across every check-in.

The connector

“This would help George — you two should connect. He’s dealing with the same problem.”

Tessa proposes the intro, both people say yes, and she books it into both calendars.

Tessa books follow-ups straight into both calendars — nobody chases a time.

How it runs

Friday 4pm: Tessa calls each rep for about ten minutes — pipeline movement, stuck deals, commitments for next week. Monday 9am: you read one digest instead of running a forecast meeting.

Why leaders switch

Built for leaders who need to hear more, more often

“

We're a big company doing great work — everyday there's something happening that more people need to hear about.

We often joke about the line that when you feel like you're sick of repeating yourself, you're just starting to say it enough. With Apprendo my team can search, pull and share internal examples of what matters without me having to repeat myself constantly.

CEO

“

My job is to go out every day and share the narrative of my industry so buyers, regulators and the public trust us. Apprendo makes this simple and repeatable.
