ElevenLabs launches experimental app for meeting notes and dictation

Voice AI company ElevenLabs this week released an experimental app called ElevenAI, which combines meeting note-taking, speech-to-text dictation and integration with AI agents. The app was unveiled at the company's 11/11 Summit in New York. It enters a category where Fireflies, Wispr Flow and Granola have also released competing capabilities in recent months.

ElevenAI is still in preview, and users must sign up for early access rather than simply download it. ElevenLabs, valued at $22 billion, is presenting the product as something that lives within a team, not as a productivity tool for an individual.

What the app offers

The app takes notes across meetings and notifies other participants that the conversation is being recorded. Users can query data across multiple meetings and get live assistance during a chat, for instance to recall a key detail from earlier conversations.

Companies can also plug in ElevenAgent to carry out follow-up actions, such as drafting an email based on meeting notes. The dictation feature converts speech into cleaned-up text in any app and supports more than 90 languages. The company says the app can understand industry-specific terms in both dictation and meeting transcription.

Strategy

ElevenAI lets the company showcase its own model and use its agent platforms to funnel better context. Its aim may not be to compete directly in the productivity market, but to give enterprise teams a reason not to buy licenses for a separate notetaker and use ElevenLabs' solution instead. Meeting tools in general are racing to become central knowledge hubs for companies, while automating knowledge extraction and follow-up actions.

In the past week, ElevenLabs also launched its v3 series of Scribe speech-to-text models, featuring live transcription and the ability for companies to fine-tune models on their own data. It also introduced a tool for choosing the right language model for a given use case, and a routine creator that automates tasks based on the transcript.
