Tetra, operating under the legal name Tetrachrome, Inc., positioned itself in the enterprise productivity software market as an artificial intelligence-driven notetaker for phone calls. The company was founded by Jon Goldsmith and Nikolas Liolios and participated in the Winter 2017 batch of the Y Combinator accelerator program. The core business proposition was to alleviate the need for manual note-taking during conversations, allowing users to focus on the discussion while ensuring key details were captured and accessible.
The service operated by having users invite a Tetra bot ([email protected]) to a scheduled calendar meeting. The bot would then automatically dial into the call, transcribe the conversation in real-time, and make the notes available shortly after the meeting concluded. The platform offered full, searchable transcripts that were synchronized with the call's audio, allowing users to quickly locate specific moments in the conversation. To ensure accuracy, the company employed human editors to review and correct the output from its automatic speech recognition software, guaranteeing transcript delivery within six hours. For client confidentiality, the system was designed so that no single human editor would ever hear more than a 15-second snippet of any given call.
Tetra's business model was subscription-based, offering tiered plans based on the volume of transcription hours needed. For example, a "Plus" plan provided 3 hours of transcription for $100 per month, while a "Pro" plan offered 10 hours and summarized notes for $300 per month. The service was aimed at professionals and teams who needed to maintain accurate records of calls for collaboration and reference. It facilitated sharing notes with team members who could not attend and allowed for exporting transcripts to popular productivity tools like Evernote, Google Docs, and Slack. The company's operations were based in San Francisco. In January 2018, Tetrachrome, Inc. was acquired by Atrium, a legal services provider for an undisclosed amount, marking the conclusion of its journey as an independent entity.
