Tepali: AI-native operating system for medspas
See original launch post

Hey everyone!

We're Vishnu and Chrisvin, the co-founders of Tepali.

TL;DR

Tepali is the agentic OS for med spas. We replace fragmented software and manual work with a single system of record powered by AI agents that handle front desk, patient documentation, and lead conversion.

The Problem

Med spas are one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S., but they're bleeding money. The average med spa loses over $300K a year to missed calls, manual charting, and slow follow-ups.

Today's software was built before AI, designed for salons, and duct-taped together for med spas. Even the all-in-one platforms just digitize manual workflows instead of automating them. Every missed call is a lost booking, every manual chart is time a provider could be seeing another patient, and every slow follow-up is a lead that goes cold.

Our Solution

Tepali owns the entire system of record: POS, EMR, CRM, scheduling, inventory, and marketing. All in one platform, built AI-first.

Then we run the med spa with agents:

Receptionist Agent picks up every call, answers patient questions, and books appointments 24/7. No more missed revenue from unanswered phones.

Clinical Agent sits in on every treatment, listens via voice AI, and generates complete clinical documentation and charting automatically. Charting that used to take 15 minutes happens in seconds, so providers can see more patients and drive more revenue.

Growth Agent nurtures every lead, sends personalized follow-ups and offers, and re-engages patients before they churn. Conversion and retention run on autopilot.

The Team

We've been best friends since middle school and have built and scaled vertical AI.

Vishnu studied CS at Carnegie Mellon and led engineering at MealPal (Series B). At Dripos (YC W20), he built the all-in-one POS used by thousands of coffee shops and saw firsthand how fragmented software holds back service businesses.

Chrisvin studied at NYU Stern and executed $30B in M&A at PJT Partners. He then scaled operations at Rilla, a vertical AI unicorn, where he saw firsthand how AI transforms high-ticket service industries.
