Wispr Flow launches a Granola-styled meeting notetaker
Ivan Mehta
12:15 AM PDT · August 5, 2026
Update August 5, 12.10 am PT: Wispr Flow has officially launched its notetaker for Mac. The notetaker, similar to the one of Granola’s, uses system audio to transcribe a meeting without joining one. It also cleans up transcripts, creates action items, and lets users query across meeting history with the help of AI. Users can see a live transcript and ask AI to catch them up as well.
Our original reporting based on Wispr Flow’s terms change is below
Dictation app Wispr Flow is preparing to launch a meeting notetaker, according to the tool’s updated Terms of Service.
The company also sent an email to its customers about the change in both its terms and its privacy policy to accommodate related features.
Upon investigation, the refreshed terms have added sections about the use of meeting data and the notetaker. The company said the notetaker will generate transcripts, summaries, actions, and insights, writing:
For Notetaker, Input may also include Meeting Data, including meeting audio, participant information, meeting metadata, speaker labels, meeting transcripts, and other information processed in connection with a meeting. Output may include AI-generated meeting transcripts, summaries, action items, meeting insights, speaker attribution, and other meeting-related content.
With the launch, the startup will take on other meeting notetakers such as Granola, Fireflies, Read AI, Otter, and Fathom. Wispr Flow’s co-founder Tanay Kothari had previously talked about building an AI assistant in interviews. With a meeting notetaker, Wispr Flow would gain additional context about its users and could automate more tasks beyond cleaning up spoken sentences.
It’s not clear if the startup wants to launch a Granola-style notetaker that relies on system audio and transcribes the meeting without keeping a recording, or build a full-fledged meeting recording tool.
To date, Wispr Flow has raised more than $81 million, with the company valued at $700 million at its last round. In May, Bloomberg reported that the company was in talks for a new round, valuing it at $2 billion.
Wispr Flow didn’t respond to our request for further comment.
