Conva
Real-time call co-pilot for sales reps — dual-channel live transcription and AI-suggested replies with document citations, processed locally on your desktop.
Conva is a real-time call intelligence tool, not a receptionist — it doesn't answer the phone in place of a person. Instead it sits alongside a sales rep who's already on a call: dual-channel capture keeps the rep's voice and the other party's separate, live speaker-labeled transcription lands in under a second, and an AI assist layer suggests replies grounded in the rep's own uploaded documents, citing the specific source passage rather than answering from a black box. Calls are recorded and searchable afterward.
Its privacy story has two layers worth telling apart. Capture and speech-to-text run fully on-device via an offline model — per Conva, audio never leaves the computer, and nothing is stored on its servers unless explicitly saved. The AI-suggested-replies feature is a separate, opt-in cloud path: Conva describes it as bring-your-own-key ("your keys, your provider") for the cloud speech/LLM engines that power it. The local-first claim covers the transcription layer; the assist layer is optional cloud, user-controlled.
It's desktop only today (Windows and macOS; a mobile companion is listed as coming soon), free during its current beta, and doesn't name a target industry or publish any CRM/calendar integrations — a standalone tool rather than a connected part of a sales stack. This is a genuinely different category from the AI receptionists elsewhere on this site: Conva assists a human who's already taking the call, rather than answering it instead of one.
Pricing
Free in beta ($29/mo Pro after) — Free during the current beta. Conva says its Pro tier will be $29/month post-launch — unlimited live calls for one seat with a monthly assist meter, topped up with credits rather than a plan change on overage — and that beta users keep the $29/mo price locked in permanently once it launches. Exact assist-meter limits and credit costs aren't published yet.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Sub-second, speaker-labeled live transcription that keeps the rep's voice and the other party's separate (dual-channel), not one blended feed
- AI-suggested replies cite the specific document/passage they're drawn from, rather than an unexplained suggestion
- Local-first: call capture and transcription run on-device via an offline model — per Conva, audio never leaves the computer, and nothing is stored on its servers unless explicitly saved
- Free during the beta, and beta users keep the post-launch $29/mo Pro price locked in permanently
- Nothing to configure — open the app and join the call
Cons
- The AI-suggested-replies feature is opt-in cloud (bring your own LLM/speech provider API key) — the local-first privacy story applies to transcription capture, not automatically to that feature once it's enabled
- Desktop only today (Windows/macOS) — no mobile app yet, so it can't assist a call taken from a phone
- No CRM or calendar integrations published — a standalone call-assist tool rather than a connected part of a sales stack
- No named target industry or use-case specialization — generic B2B sales positioning, unlike vertically-packaged tools
- Post-beta $29/mo Pro terms (the assist-meter limit and overage-credit pricing) aren't fully published yet
- New entrant, still in beta — no long-term track record

Frequently asked questions
- Is Conva an AI receptionist?

- Does Conva store or upload call audio?
- Per Conva, capture and transcription run locally via an offline model and audio never leaves the device; nothing is stored on Conva's servers unless explicitly saved. The AI-suggested-replies feature is a separate, opt-in cloud path using your own LLM/speech provider API key.
- How much does Conva cost?
- Free during its current beta. Conva says Pro will be $29/month post-launch, and beta users keep that price locked in permanently.
