Wispr, the startup behind dictation tool Wispr Flow, has created an AI note-taking assistant that records meetings and generates conversation summaries for users.
The Wispr Flow Notetaker tool "captures your meetings so you can stop splitting your attention between listening and writing things down," said Sahaj Garja, Wispr CTO and co-founder.
Notetaker starts recording with one click, and doesn't require a bot to attend a video or voice call. It can also be used to capture in-person conversations.
The software has three key functions. Before a call, Notetaker displays a meeting brief with information such as meeting purpose and background of participants.
Once the meeting starts, a live transcript displays the dialogue text and labels speakers. A "what did I miss?" button provides a summary of talking points from the previous few minutes.
Finally, post-meeting, Notetaker generates a more detailed summary organized by topic that includes information such as key dates, decisions, and next steps. Users can search across notes from previous meetings in the Notetaker app. "Over time your meeting history stops being a folder of documents you have to go find and becomes something you can ask questions of," said Garja.
Notetaker integrates with AI assistants such as Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT via model context protocol. Th

AI note-taking app maker Granola is accused of violating privacy laws by developing software that can record conversations without all participants' consent, according to a lawsuit filed July 30 in a California federal court.
It follows a similar ongoing case in the same district, filed last year, that involves another note-taking and transcription software vendor, Otter.ai.
AI note-taking apps have proliferated in recent years, with dedicated tools emerging from vendors including Fellow, Fireflies, Otter, and others, some of which claim to have tens of millions of users. These AI assistants record and transcribe meeting conversations, generating automated summaries and follow-up items. Similar note-taking functionality is also built into virtual meeting platforms such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.
However, the use of these AI note-taking tools has raised privacy concerns over the ability of some to record and transcribe conversations without the consent of all participants.
The proposed class action complaint against Granola, filed by Florida resident Tarra Chamberlain in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges the company "purposefully" designed its app to record calls without requiring disclosure to all participants.
