Wispr Flow launches a Granola-styled meeting notetaker

Wispr Flow is set to launch a meeting notetaker that operates similarly to Granola’s, according to the company's updated Terms of Service. The notetaker, which is expected to be released for Mac, uses system audio to transcribe meetings in real-time without requiring users to join the meeting. Once the meeting is over, the tool cleans up the transcripts, creates action items, and lets users query the meeting history for specific information using AI-powered search. Users will be able to view a live transcript of the meeting and ask AI for a recap, if needed.

The new terms of service and privacy policy for Wispr Flow have been updated to include provisions regarding the use of meeting data and the functionalities of the notetaker. The company states that the notetaker will generate AI-generated transcripts, summaries, action items, meeting insights, speaker attribution, and other meeting-related content.

The input for the notetaker may include meeting audio, participant information, meeting metadata, speaker labels, meeting transcripts, and other data processed during a meeting.

With the launch of this notetaker, Wispr Flow will join a competitive landscape that includes other meeting notetakers such as Granola, Fireflies, Read AI, Otter, and Fathom. Co-founder Tanay Kothari had previously mentioned plans to build an AI assistant, and the introduction of a meeting notetaker would give the startup additional context about its users and enable it to automate more tasks beyond simply cleaning up spoken sentences.

Wispr Flow has raised over $81 million in funding, bringing its valuation to $700 million at the company's last round in May. In May, Bloomberg reported that the company was in talks for a new funding round, which would value Wispr Flow at approximately $2 billion. However, the company did not provide further comment on the development of its meeting notetaker.
