ElevenAI brings dictation and meeting notes together for teams

ElevenAI brings dictation and meeting notes together for teams

ElevenAI brings meeting notes, dictation, and agents together in a single app for teams: it can transcribe conversations, retrieve information from previous meetings, and turn speech into polished text within other applications. ElevenLabs introduced it at its 11/11 summit in New York; for now, it is experimental, and access requires signing up for an early access list.

The offering goes beyond summarizing a call. Users can query information from multiple meetings and get live assistance recalling details from previous conversations. Companies can also connect ElevenAgent to kick off follow-up tasks, such as drafting an email based on the notes.

ElevenLabs positions the product for the shared workplace, rather than as a personal productivity tool. According to the company, the app also listens to in-person conversations, generates notes and next steps, and adapts its operation to each company's tools and processes.

From conversation to notes and tasks

When a meeting is recorded, ElevenAI notifies the other participants, according to the description published by TechCrunch. The company added that notes are taken with everyone's consent and that, once the call ends, the app provides a summary and a list of action items for each attendee. ElevenLabs' preview also mentions built-in notification and consent mechanisms.

Information retrieval spans multiple conversations: users can ask about details spread across meetings and get live assistance during another conversation. The idea is that users won't have to manually search old transcripts to bring up something mentioned earlier.

ElevenAgent extends this workflow. Companies can integrate it to act on the information collected; the specific example given by ElevenLabs and TechCrunch is drafting a follow-up email from the notes. Digital Trends reports that the availability and scope of these automated workflows during the preview have not yet been detailed.

“Free early access to ElevenAI is opening today.”

The app also includes dictation: it turns speech into corrected text in any application, according to TechCrunch, and supports more than 90 languages. ElevenLabs says it can recognize industry-specific terms both when dictating and when transcribing meetings.

Dictation leverages Scribe models

ElevenLabs links ElevenAI's voice features to Scribe v3, its speech-to-text model. In its summit announcement, the company said meeting notes and dictation are powered by that model, which it described as its latest and most accurate speech recognition system.

That same week, ElevenLabs announced the Scribe v3 series with live transcription, model fine-tuning using each company's data, and a tool for choosing the right language model for a given use case. It also introduced a routine builder that automates tasks based on transcripts. TechCrunch and Digital Trends connect these announcements to ElevenAI's technical context, though they do not specify which Scribe v3 features will be available at each stage of the preview.

ElevenLabs' corporate announcement also includes Scribe v3 Medical, a transcription model for healthcare that, according to the company, recognizes thousands of complex medical terms. Its example is distinguishing between cycloserine and cyclosporine. The company said it is also working on a model optimized for financial services; it did not give a release date for that development.

An enterprise play in a crowded market

ElevenLabs' entry comes after Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola added dictation and note-taking features in recent months, according to TechCrunch. Digital Trends describes a competitive landscape in which meeting tools are seeking to become a place to look up information from workplace conversations.

The features are not distributed in exactly the same way across these products: TechCrunch reports that Fireflies added dictation to its desktop apps, Wispr Flow is developing its own note-taking feature, and Granola also added dictation. ElevenAI enters the market with notes, dictation, and agents combined in a single space for teams.

ElevenLabs, valued at $22 billion, can use the app to promote its own voice models and agent platform to enterprise customers. TechCrunch suggests that the goal is to give teams the option of avoiding separate licenses for a note-taking service; it does not present ElevenAI as an individual tool competing directly for productivity users.

The strategy fits with the company's broader push into enterprise agents. At the summit, its co-founder and CEO, Mati Staniszewski, argued that conversational agents will become infrastructure for businesses. ElevenLabs also unveiled updates to ElevenAgents, its platform for configuring and deploying voice and chat agents in areas such as sales, support, recruiting, and operations.

What we know about access and what's still pending

ElevenAI was announced at the 11/11 summit held in New York. TechCrunch and Digital Trends place the launch during that week; ElevenLabs' blog says the app was previewed during Staniszewski's keynote and that free early access opened that day. Anyone who wants to try it must request access: downloading the app alone is not yet enough.

For now, there is no general availability date in the cited announcements, nor are there details about pricing or supported platforms. The extent of integrations or automations during the preview is also unspecified. Digital Trends notes that accuracy, integrations, and usefulness at scale will determine whether teams can replace existing tools or whether ElevenAI becomes just another app.

Recording notifications are part of the design described by the companies, but they do not resolve practical questions about using transcripts in a business: who can access them and how they are managed. The announcements do not detail these controls. ElevenAI's first test will be turning early access into a tool teams can incorporate into their daily meetings and workflows.
