Wispr moves beyond AI dictation with note-taking assistant
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.

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
