Wispr Flow has officially launched Notetaker, its first product beyond dictation, designed to enhance meeting productivity. The AI-powered assistant transcribes meetings using system audio without joining, cleaning up transcripts and generating action items.1

The tool is available for Mac users, with a Windows version in development. It integrates with calendars and connected apps, providing context for transcripts and summaries.

As Wispr CEO Tanay Kothari states, “Nobody reads meeting transcripts. But everyone acts on them.” Notetaker aims to streamline the process of capturing and acting on meeting content, allowing users to query their meeting history effectively.

The assistant works across multiple platforms, including Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and Slack, and supports integration with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. This launch positions Wispr Flow to compete in the rapidly growing market of AI meeting assistants, which have seen a surge in demand as remote work becomes more prevalent.

With a valuation of $700 million and ongoing discussions for a new funding round potentially valuing the company at $2 billion, Wispr Flow is poised for significant growth in the AI space.

Key Insight
“Notetaker transcribes meetings on-device and never joins a meeting as a participant, avoiding what Wispr calls "a bot that lurks as an awkward shadow in the participant list." The company, valued at $700 million at its last round, was reported in May to be in talks for a new round at $2 billion.”
