AI-powered parallel and power dialer for sales teams with automatic call recording, real-time assist, AI scoring, and roleplay coaching.
Némos is a personal knowledge management ("second brain") app for the Apple ecosystem that captures and automatically organizes many content types, including voice memos that it records and transcribes on-device. Rather than joining video calls as a bot, it captures audio directly from the iPhone or Apple Watch and converts speech to text locally using Apple Intelligence Foundation Models, so data stays on the device. Transcribed audio becomes fully searchable, and recordings can be turned into formats such as bullet points, summaries, meeting notes, emails, or journal entries. Beyond voice, Némos handles screenshots with OCR, links, PDFs, notes, photos, and more, naming and filing them automatically without manual tagging. It runs on iPhone and iPad (with Apple Watch recording, Siri commands, and Chrome, Safari, and Firefox extensions), and offers two-way sync with Apple Reminders, Calendar, Notes, Photos, Files, Maps, and iCloud. It is aimed at students, researchers, writers, and professionals who want private, low-effort capture of voice and other notes. As of mid-2026 it is in private beta.

Orum is an AI-powered sales dialer platform built for sales development teams that make high volumes of outbound calls. Its core function is to maximize live conversations through power and parallel dialing, calling multiple numbers at once and connecting reps only when a real person answers, while routing past voicemails and busy signals so reps stay in back-to-back conversations. Around the dialer, Orum layers AI features for recording, coaching, and analysis. Every call is automatically logged and recorded, with timestamps that make it easy to revisit specific moments, and Orum integrates with conversation intelligence tools so recordings flow into a team's existing stack. Its Assist feature listens to conversations in real time and surfaces the right response when a rep needs it, such as handling an objection, responding to a competitor mention, or recognizing a buying signal. Orum also offers an AI coaching suite with automatic call scoring against proven criteria, scenario-based AI roleplay practice, and coaching portals that build each rep's coaching playlist from performance trends. Orum is aimed at SDR and outbound sales teams that want to combine high-efficiency dialing with AI-driven coaching. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
