In practice

How sales reps use Dollop.

  1. 01.

    Record discovery calls without a bot in the room.

    Hit ⌃ R when the call starts. Meeting Notes captures system audio (Zoom, Meet, Teams, FaceTime) plus your mic, transcribes locally on Apple's Neural Engine, and produces a summary plus action items in seconds. The prospect doesn't see a third-party bot join their meeting; you don't pay per-minute or per-seat to anyone.

    Heard

    prospect: head of operations at a 250-person retail company. pain: existing tool's reporting is broken; they're exporting to Excel. budget: confirmed Q3, ~$30K. next steps: send the case study from the apparel vertical and book a technical eval with their head of IT for next thursday.

  2. 02.

    Dictate Salesforce/HubSpot/Pipedrive notes after every call.

    The follow-up note is the difference between a deal that closes and a deal that ghosts. Hit ⌥ Space inside Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Outreach and dictate the note while the call is fresh. Per-app tone keeps Salesforce terse, Slack casual, Mail formal.

  3. 03.

    Ask the AI chat about a prospect site or LinkedIn page.

    Open the prospect's website or LinkedIn, hit ⌃ S to summon the chat overlay with screen context, and ask for the likely buying committee, recent funding, or three discovery questions tailored to the company. All on-device.

  4. 04.

    Follow-up email with the right tone.

    Mail wants formal-warm. Slack wants tight. Salesforce wants chart-style. Dollop shifts the same dictation across all three. One pass through your voice; three correct outputs.

Why it fits

Why solo SDRs and AEs choose Dollop.

No bot in the call.

Otter, Fireflies, Granola, and Read.ai all join the call as a meeting participant. Some prospects find that off-putting; some companies have policies against third-party bots in external meetings. Dollop records your Mac's audio directly, no bot, no third-party seen on the call.

Free, no per-seat or per-minute billing.

Gong is $$$$$ enterprise-only. Chorus is roughly $100+/month per seat. Fireflies has free transcripts but charges $10–18/month for AI summaries. Dollop is free, including unlimited recording, transcription, and AI summaries.

Audio stays on your Mac.

Sales calls contain pricing, competitive intel, customer commitments, and other details that prospects assume are private to the conversation. Dollop processes everything on-device on Apple's Neural Engine and Foundation Models, no upload, no third-party AI vendor.

Works in your CRM, your inbox, and Slack.

System-wide. Salesforce Lightning, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Linear, Notion, the terminal. Anywhere your cursor lands.

Asked & answered

Questions, answered.

How does Dollop compare to Gong, Chorus, Fireflies, and Granola for sales? +
Those tools all upload audio to a server for cloud transcription, charge per seat or per minute, and most join the meeting as a bot participant. Dollop records on-device with no bot, charges nothing, and keeps audio on your Mac. The trade-off: Dollop is built for the individual rep workflow, not enterprise revenue intelligence (you do not get team-wide deal scoring, manager dashboards, or a shared call library out of the box).
Can Dollop record Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex? +
Yes. Meeting Notes captures system audio, so it picks up everyone in the call regardless of platform. No browser plugin, no calendar integration, nothing for the prospect to install or notice.
Is the recording legal? +
Recording laws vary by jurisdiction (one-party vs two-party consent). Dollop gives you the tool; you handle the consent disclosure. For two-party-consent states, the standard practice is a verbal "I'm recording for note-taking purposes, is that ok?" at the start of the call.
Can I dictate into Salesforce and HubSpot? +
Yes, system-wide. Dollop pastes clean text at your cursor in any web-based or native CRM, including Salesforce Lightning, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Apollo, Outreach, and Salesloft.
Will the AI summaries hallucinate or invent things? +
Apple Foundation Models is a relatively conservative LLM tuned for on-device use. Summaries stay close to the transcript. For high-stakes commitments (pricing, contract terms, deal close dates), always verify against the transcript, which is preserved in full alongside the summary.
Does it sync to my CRM automatically? +
Not yet. Currently you copy the summary or action items out and paste into the CRM. Direct CRM integration is on the roadmap for Salesforce and HubSpot.
Hardware requirements? +
Apple Silicon (M1+) on macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled.

You already pay for a CRM you only half-use. Your call recording, your summary, and your follow-up dictation should not also bill per minute. Download Dollop and run the next discovery call without inviting a third party in.
