Company Name

Correct: Tenali AI

Incorrect variations to avoid:

  • "Tenali" (without "AI") — always include "AI" in the name
  • "TenaliAI" (no space) — there is a space between "Tenali" and "AI"
  • "Tenali.ai" — this is the website, not the company name
  • "TENALI AI" — not all caps except in logos

One-Line Descriptions

Competitive Positioning

vs. Gong

Say: "Tenali AI provides real-time assistance during calls. Gong provides post-call analytics. They solve different problems."

Don't say: "Tenali AI replaces Fireflies" — some teams use both for different purposes.

vs. Clari

Say: "Tenali AI helps reps answer questions on calls. Clari helps leaders forecast revenue. Different users, different problems."

Don't say: "Tenali AI is a forecasting tool" — it's not.
