Wispr Flow appears to be preparing an AI meeting notetaker that can generate transcripts, summaries, action items, speaker labels and other insights. The planned feature was disclosed through changes to the dictation app’s legal documents rather than a formal product announcement.
The company also emailed customers about updates to its terms and privacy policy. Wispr has not announced when the notetaker will become available or provided details about its interface and pricing.
Updated Terms Define the Notetaker
Wispr’s updated Terms of Service, dated July 25, define Notetaker as an AI-powered service for meeting transcription, note-taking, summarisation, speaker identification, action-item generation and meeting insights.
The input may include meeting audio, participant details, speaker labels, transcripts, meeting titles, descriptions, times and calendar metadata. Its output may include summaries, follow-up materials, action items and speaker attribution.
Wispr warns that these outputs may contain errors, omissions or incorrect speaker labels. The company advises users to review the generated material before relying on it for business, legal, employment or compliance decisions.
Users will also be responsible for obtaining any legally required consent before recording or transcribing meetings. The terms state that Notetaker currently requires Wispr’s Cloud Sync feature to be enabled.
Meeting Audio May Be Stored Temporarily
Wispr’s revised Privacy Policy says encrypted meeting audio may be stored temporarily on a device or in the cloud. The company says this may support features such as resuming meetings, improving transcription quality, checking accuracy and troubleshooting technical problems.
The documents do not make clear whether Wispr will rely entirely on system audio without retaining recordings, similar to some lightweight notetakers, or provide a more extensive recording service. The company has also not explained which video conferencing platforms it will support.
Wispr offers a Privacy Mode that prevents customer content from being used to evaluate, train or improve its models. However, the setting operates separately from Cloud Sync, which determines whether data is stored and synchronised across devices.
Wispr Enters a Competitive Meeting Software Market
The feature would place Wispr in competition with meeting assistants including Granola, Fireflies, Read AI, Otter and Fathom. These services already offer combinations of transcription, summaries, meeting search and automated follow-ups.
Co-founder Tanay Kothari previously said Wispr wanted to develop Flow into an AI assistant that understands personal context and helps users complete tasks such as taking notes, sending messages and setting reminders. A meeting notetaker could provide more context than the app currently receives through individual dictation sessions.
Wispr has raised more than $81 million and was valued at about $700 million during its previous funding round. Bloomberg reported in May that the company was discussing another round that could value it at $2 billion, although the deal had not been completed when reported.
The planned feature was first reported by TechCrunch, which said Wispr did not respond to a request for additional comment.
