ElevenLabs has entered the crowded dictation and meeting note-taking market with ElevenAI, an experimental app that combines meeting transcription, dictation, and agent integration. The launch comes as competitors including Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola have all released similar capabilities in recent months.
A Team-First Positioning
Announced during ElevenLabs' 11/11 Summit in New York, ElevenAI is currently in preview and requires early-access sign-up rather than a standard download. The company—now valued at $22 billion—is positioning the product as a team-centric solution rather than an individual productivity tool.
Core Features
ElevenAI bundles the features typical of this product category:
- Meeting notes across sessions, with notifications to other participants that a conversation is being recorded
- Cross-meeting data queries, allowing users to surface details from older conversations
- Live in-chat assistance to help recall key information during discussions
- ElevenAgent integration, enabling follow-up actions such as drafting emails based on meeting notes
- Dictation that converts speech into cleaned-up text in any app, with support for over 90 languages
According to the company, the app can recognize industry-specific terminology across both dictation and meeting transcription.
Strategic Intent
ElevenAI serves as a showcase for ElevenLabs' own models while leveraging its agent platforms to funnel context more effectively. Rather than competing head-on in the broader productivity market, the company appears to be offering enterprise teams an alternative to purchasing separate notetaker licenses.
The move reflects a wider trend: meeting-related tools are racing to become central knowledge hubs for companies, automating both knowledge extraction and follow-up actions.
Broader Product Momentum
In the past week, ElevenLabs has also rolled out several related releases:
- The v3 series of Scribe speech-to-text models, featuring live transcription and the ability for companies to fine-tune models on their own data
- A tool for selecting the right language model based on use case
- A routine creator that automates tasks based on transcripts
Together, these releases signal ElevenLabs' push to embed its voice AI across the enterprise workflow—from real-time capture to automated action.
