| What matters | Tallis Planned offer | Catch AI Public information |
|---|---|---|
| Built around | One person: a solo founder or operator, with private ongoing context. [T] | One executive’s admin: calendar, inbox, scheduling, travel and calls. [1] [2] |
| How you work | A continuing conversation through Telegram and a web chat, without running your own agent. [T] | Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, email, phone, Zoom and Google Meet. No Telegram. [1] [2] |
| Work to hand over | Recurring research, drafted communication and controlled upkeep of existing accounts and sites. [T] | Meeting coordination, travel booking and outbound calls made for you. [1] [2] |
| Control over actions | Exact previews in Preview mode; policy-based Guardrails and Autopilot, with pause and records of outcomes. [T] | Acts only within the permissions you grant and with your approval; financial transactions need explicit approval; routine tasks minimise approvals. [1] [2] |
| Access and cost | Waitlist. Confirm launch pricing and workflow availability before subscribing. [T] | Flat $99/month, 10-day free trial, cancel anytime, outbound calls included. US data hosting, SOC 2 Type II; anonymised interaction data may train its own models. [1] [2] |

Before you choose
No. Catch states it acts only within the permissions you grant and with your approval, with explicit approval for financial transactions and fewer approvals for routine tasks. Compare the exact permission, review and confirmation flow for the task you need, rather than treating an approval label as proof of equivalent safeguards. [1] [2]

Published by Tallis, one of the products compared. This is an editorial comparison of public information, not an independent product audit. We separate published claims, our planned offer and our assessment of fit.
Tallis is being built for a solo founder or operator: private ongoing context, included model access, recurring research, and controlled actions in connected accounts. Telegram and a web chat are the launch channels. Preview requires an exact preview and approval. Guardrails and Autopilot use the permissions you set; every mode retains pause and records of outcomes.
Access is currently by waitlist. These launch intentions are not a claim that every workflow is available today. Shared teams, an app-builder marketplace and unrestricted purchases are outside the initial offer. See Tallis.
