Made for sales teams
Typing up the recap after every call
Twenty minutes go into writing up what was agreed, who owns what, and the next step you promised – Pepys drafts the summary, decisions, and action items from the call you already recorded.
Trusting memory for what the prospect said
The exact objection or the metric their VP listens to is easy to misremember – search the speaker-labeled transcript and pull the line verbatim, with the timestamp attached.
Per-seat fees and a bot in every meeting
A per-seat subscription bills for reps whether they call or not – Pepys is pay-per-call from a file or link, minutes shared across the team, and credits never expire.
Built in, not bolted on
A summary, decisions, action items, and next steps – drafted
Every callis analyzed automatically the moment it’s transcribed. Here’s a real sample, run through it.
Discovery Call: Acme Support Triage
A discovery call with Renata, an ops lead running a nine-person support team that loses close to a day a week to manual ticket triage. Her current tool uses brittle keyword rules, so mis-sorted tickets age out in the general queue and slow first responses, which she feels in renewal conversations but can't yet quantify for her VP. Rather than pitch a full migration she can't approve this quarter, the rep scoped a two-week pilot on the billing queue measuring first-response time before and after. The rep flagged that auto-routing makes calibration mistakes in its first days, and two approval blockers remain: data residency and whether it integrates with the existing helpdesk.
Participants
Decisions
- Run a two-week pilot scoped to the billing queue only, rather than a full rollout, since that queue is the one clearly leaking.
- Measure first-response time before and after the pilot, since a rough first-response improvement is what unlocks budget from Renata's VP.
- Keep the pilot small enough that procurement does not need to be involved yet.
Action items
- Send a one-page pilot plan by Thursday that Renata can forward straight to her VPAccount Exec
- Confirm the data-residency answer in writing (whether data stays in their region)Account Exec
- Confirm in writing whether the product plugs into their existing helpdesk or requires a rip-and-replaceAccount Exec
- Warn the support team that the routing is learning for the first week so early mistakes don't read as brokenRenata
Next steps
- Account Exec sends the written data-residency and integration answers plus the one-page pilot plan by Thursday.
- Renata forwards the pilot plan to her VP to secure budget on the strength of the first-response measurement.
- Scope the pilot to the billing queue and run it for two weeks before considering a wider rollout.
Open questions
- Does the customer's data stay in their region?
- Does the product integrate with the helpdesk they already use, or does it force a rip-and-replace?

Ask, don’t scrub
Ask the transcript anything.
An hour-long recording? Don’t skim it – ask. Every answer stays grounded in your transcript and cites the exact timestamp, so you can jump to the moment and check it yourself.
What did the prospect say is actually slowing her support team down?
Renata says Monday is the worst day – weekend tickets pile up and her agents spend the first two hours tagging and routing them by hand, which she estimates costs a nine-person team close to a full day a week. The deeper cost is that their keyword-rule tool mis-sorts tickets, so a billing question that doesn't say the word 'billing' lands in the general queue and ages out, which is where the slow responses come from.
What did we agree the next step would be?
Instead of a full migration she can't approve this quarter, you scoped a two-week pilot on just the billing queue and agreed to measure first-response time before and after, since a rough first-response improvement is what unlocks budget from her VP. You also committed to confirming data residency and helpdesk integration in writing and sending a one-page pilot plan by Thursday she can forward straight up.
Grounded in your transcript – if the answer isn’t in the audio, it says so instead of guessing.
Who said what
Speaker labels that survive cross-talk
Automatic speaker diarization. Two people, four people, cross-talk and interruptions – interviews, panels, messy meetings. Pepys keeps each voice on its own line instead of blurring them into one, so you never rewind to figure out who was talking.
So the festival nearly didn't happen this year–
–it almost didn't. We lost the venue three weeks out.
Three weeks? How do you even start to–
You call everyone you know. The whole town pitched in.
And that's how it ended up in the park.

What sales teams say
I do not transcribe every week. That is why I love it. I buy hours, disappear for two months, come back, and my credits are still there.
Marcus B.Indie founder · No subscription guiltThe emotional relief is real. After interviews, I used to stare at a folder of audio files knowing the hard part had not even started. Now I have speaker-labeled transcripts, themes, and quotes ready to review. I still do the thinking, but I am not stuck doing the clerical work first.
Sofia L.UX researcher · Analysis started sooner Focus groups used to mean waiting on transcripts before the real work could begin. Now we can start comparing responses the same day, even when the sessions are not all in the same language. It makes us look much faster than we used to be.

Sales call transcription – questions, answered
How do I transcribe a sales or discovery call?
Upload the recording from Zoom, Meet, Teams, or your phone, or paste a link to it. Pepys returns a speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, along with an AI summary, the decisions made, owner-tagged action items, next steps, and the open questions to follow up on.
Does it separate the rep from the prospect?
Yes. Speaker diarization labels each voice, so a two- or three-person call comes back attributed rather than as one wall of text. You can rename a generic label to the prospect's name and it updates across the transcript.
Can it pull out action items and next steps automatically?
Yes. The meeting analysis drafts a summary, the decisions reached, action items tagged to an owner, next steps, and any open questions raised on the call – so your follow-up is mostly written before you start typing.
Can I get the recap into my CRM?
Export the recap as DOCX, plain text, PDF, or JSON and paste it into the opportunity, or copy the action items straight into your CRM task list. There's no forced integration to set up first.
Do reps have to add a recording bot to every meeting?
No. Pepys works from a file or a link, so you can transcribe a one-off call, an old recording, or a deal you want to review after the fact – without installing a notetaker bot into every rep's calendar.
Is what's said on a client call kept private?
Yes. We don't train any model on your audio or transcripts. You can delete a call's data after you've exported the recap, which matters when the conversation covers a prospect's internal numbers.
Do I have to subscribe?
No. Pepys is pay-as-you-go – buy a block of minutes, share them across your reps, and the credits never expire. You can start free with 60 minutes, no card.
