Over the past few months, Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola have all rolled out competing capabilities in the dictation and meeting note-taking space. The latest entrant in this category is voice AI leader ElevenLabs, which this week released an experimental app named ElevenAI combining meeting note-taking, dictation, and agent integration.
Launch and Preview Access Details
Unveiled during its 11/11 Summit in New York, ElevenAI remains in preview mode, requiring users to sign up for early access rather than downloading a standard application. ElevenLabs, which carries a valuation of $22 billion, explicitly positions the software as a collaborative product designed for team environments rather than a standalone productivity tool for solitary individuals.
Core Features and Meeting Management
ElevenAI incorporates standard features typically observed across competing applications in this market. It captures meeting notes across sessions and notifies fellow participants when a conversation undergoes recording. Users can query information across multiple meetings and receive real-time assistance during active chats, aiding in the recall of specific details from previous discussions. Additionally, ElevenLabs enables corporate clients to integrate ElevenAgent for executing follow-up actions like drafting emails based on meeting transcripts.
Dictation Capabilities and Language Support
A built-in dictation feature allows users to convert spoken words into polished text within any application, supporting over 90 languages. The company noted that the software possesses the capability to understand domain-specific terminology during both dictation sessions and meeting transcriptions.
Enterprise Strategy and Positioning
The introduction of ElevenAI permits the company to showcase its proprietary model while utilizing its agent platforms for enhanced context funneling. Rather than competing directly in the broad productivity market, the startup aims to provide enterprise teams with a unified alternative to purchasing separate licenses for dedicated note-takers. Across the industry, meeting-related utilities are racing to establish themselves as central corporate knowledge hubs while automating information extraction and follow-up tasks.
Recent Model Releases and Updates
During the same week, the company also launched its v3 series of Scribe speech-to-text models featuring live transcription capabilities. This release allows enterprises to fine-tune models utilizing proprietary data, provides a utility for selecting optimal language models according to specific use cases, and includes a routine creator that automates workflows based on transcripts.
