# Wispr Flow launches a Granola-styled meeting notetaker > Source: > Published: 2026-08-05 08:12:29+00:00 *Update August 5, 12.10 am PT: Wispr Flow has officially launched its notetaker for Mac. The notetaker, similar to the one of Granola’s, uses system audio to transcribe a meeting without joining one. It also cleans up transcripts, creates action items, and lets users query across meeting history with the help of AI.* *Users can see a live transcript and ask AI to catch them up as well.* *Our original reporting based on Wispr Flow’s terms change is below* Dictation app [Wispr Flow](https://wisprflow.ai/) is preparing to launch a meeting notetaker, according to the tool’s updated [Terms of Service](https://wisprflow.ai/terms-of-service). The company also sent an email to its customers about the change in both its terms and its privacy policy to accommodate related features. Upon investigation, the [refreshed terms](https://wisprflow.ai/terms-of-service) have added sections about the use of meeting data and the notetaker. The company said the notetaker will generate transcripts, summaries, actions, and insights, writing: For Notetaker, Input may also include Meeting Data, including meeting audio, participant information, meeting metadata, speaker labels, meeting transcripts, and other information processed in connection with a meeting. Output may include AI-generated meeting transcripts, summaries, action items, meeting insights, speaker attribution, and other meeting-related content. With the launch, the startup will take on other meeting notetakers such as [Granola](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/25/granola-raises-125m-hits-1-5b-valuation-as-it-expands-from-meeting-notetaker-to-enterprise-ai-app/), [Fireflies](https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/23/ai-powered-notetaker-fireflies-ai-release-mini-apps-to-extract-insights-out-of-meeting-notes/), [Read AI](https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/26/read-ai-launches-an-email-based-digital-twin-to-help-you-with-schedules-and-answers/), [Otter](https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/07/how-otter-ais-ceo-is-pushing-the-company-to-be-more-than-just-a-meeting-scribe/), and [Fathom](https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/19/ai-notetaker-fathom-raises-17m/). Wispr Flow’s co-founder Tanay Kothari had previously talked about building an AI assistant [in interviews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYoND2PK_bs). With a meeting notetaker, Wispr Flow would gain additional context about its users and could automate more tasks beyond cleaning up spoken sentences. It’s not clear if the startup wants to launch a Granola-style notetaker that relies on system audio and transcribes the meeting without keeping a recording, or build a full-fledged meeting recording tool. To date, Wispr Flow has raised [more than $81 million](https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/20/as-its-voice-dectation-app-takes-off-wispr-secures-25m-from-notable-capital/), with the company valued at $700 million at its last round. In May, [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-12/ai-dictation-startup-wispr-in-funding-talks-at-2-billion-value) reported that the company was in talks for a new round, valuing it at $2 billion.
