ElevenLabs unveils ElevenAI, an experimental app combining meeting note-taking, dictation in 90+ languages, and agent integration for enterprise teams.
ElevenLabs Enters the Crowded Meeting Productivity Space
In recent months, the dictation and meeting note-taking market has heated up with offerings from Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola. Now, voice AI giant ElevenLabs is throwing its hat into the ring with ElevenAI, an experimental app that combines meeting note-taking, dictation, and agent integration. The app was unveiled during the company's 11/11 Summit in New York and is currently in preview, requiring users to sign up for early access rather than simply downloading it from an app store.
ElevenLabs, valued at $22 billion, is positioning ElevenAI not as a solo productivity tool but as a product designed to live within a team. This strategic move underscores the growing demand for collaborative AI solutions that streamline workflows and enhance knowledge sharing across organizations.
Core Features: Meeting Notes, Dictation, and Agent Integration
ElevenAI packs a comprehensive set of features typical of advanced meeting assistants. It can automatically take notes across your meetings and notify participants that the conversation is being recorded, ensuring compliance and transparency. Users can query data across multiple meetings, gaining insights from past discussions, and receive live assistance during a chat to recall key details from older conversations.
Beyond note-taking, ElevenAI offers robust dictation capabilities, converting speech to cleaned-up text in any application with support for over 90 languages. The company claims the app can understand industry-specific terminology across both dictation and meeting transcription, making it suitable for specialized fields like healthcare, legal, and engineering.
Moreover, ElevenLabs enables companies to integrate ElevenAgent, allowing for follow-up actions such as drafting emails based on meeting notes. This integration transforms ElevenAI from a passive note-taker into an active participant in workflow automation.
Positioning: A Team-Centric Knowledge Hub
Rather than directly competing in the crowded productivity market, ElevenLabs appears to be targeting enterprise teams that seek an alternative to purchasing separate note-taker licenses. By offering a unified solution that leverages its own AI models and agent platforms, ElevenLabs aims to become a central knowledge hub for companies, automating knowledge extraction and follow-up actions.
"All meeting-related tools are rushing to become central knowledge hubs for companies while aiming to automate knowledge extraction and follow-up actions," noted the announcement.
This aligns with a broader trend where meeting tools evolve from simple transcription services into intelligent assistants that capture, organize, and act upon organizational knowledge.
Recent Model Advancements: Scribe v3 Series
The launch of ElevenAI comes on the heels of ElevenLabs' release of its v3 series of Scribe speech-to-text models. These models introduce live transcription capabilities and allow companies to fine-tune models using their own data. Additionally, ElevenLabs introduced a tool to help users select the right language model based on their use case and a routine creator that automates tasks based on transcripts.
These advancements highlight ElevenLabs' commitment to pushing the boundaries of voice AI and providing enterprises with customizable, high-accuracy solutions.
Market Context and Implications
The meeting productivity space is becoming increasingly competitive, with players like Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola all vying for market share. ElevenLabs' entry signals a consolidation trend where voice AI companies expand from core transcription capabilities into full-fledged productivity suites.
For enterprises, ElevenAI offers a compelling proposition: a single platform that handles meeting notes, dictation, and agent-driven follow-ups, all powered by ElevenLabs' proprietary models. However, as an experimental preview, its adoption will depend on how well it integrates with existing workflows and addresses data privacy and compliance concerns.
As ElevenLabs continues to iterate and refine ElevenAI, it could reshape how teams capture and utilize meeting knowledge, moving beyond simple note-taking to proactive knowledge management.
