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

As newspapers move online, the buildings that once housed their printing presses need new occupants.
The Minnesota Star Tribune has just sold its old printing plant on the edge of Minneapolis to the aptly named property developer Legacy Investing, which plans to create a new data center there. has found the ideal way to bring them back to life.
This is the second such move by Legacy. It has already bought a building in downtown Minneapolis that it has transformed into a data center for artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
These old buildings, already connected to power, are an attractive option for developers — especially with some grid operators threatening power cuts for new-build data centers during power shortages.
Legacy is taking a small-is-beautiful approach rather than replicating the massive data centers being built for Big Tech firms. Those are the size of small towns and consume huge volumes of water and hundreds of megawatts of power, while the capacity of Legacy's downtown building is about 30 MW, and it expects the Star Tribune site to host around 20 MW
