Wispr Flow, best known for its dictation app, is moving further into workplace software with the launch of a meeting notetaker for Mac. The product, which the company officially released after signaling the change in updated terms and privacy language, is designed to capture meetings using system audio rather than joining as a participant.
According to the report, the notetaker can generate live transcripts, summaries, action items, and meeting insights. It also allows users to ask AI to catch them up and to search across their meeting history. Wispr Flow said the tool can process meeting audio, participant information, metadata, speaker labels, transcripts, and other meeting-related data, with output that includes AI-generated transcripts, summaries, action items, speaker attribution, and related content.
A broader push into AI-powered productivity
The launch puts Wispr Flow in direct competition with other meeting-notetaker products, including Granola, Fireflies, Read AI, Otter, and Fathom. The company’s co-founder, Tanay Kothari, has previously discussed building an AI assistant, and the new product gives Wispr Flow a way to collect more context about users while potentially automating additional tasks beyond polishing spoken text.
It is still unclear whether the company intends to focus on a Granola-style approach that relies on system audio without storing a recording, or whether it plans to build a more complete meeting-recording product. Wispr Flow has raised more than $81 million so far and was last valued at $700 million, while Bloomberg reported in May that it was in talks for a new round at a $2 billion valuation. The company did not respond to a request for comment.
