ElevenLabs enters meeting notes and dictation with ElevenAI app

ElevenLabs, valued at $22 billion, has released an experimental app called ElevenAI that combines meeting note-taking, dictation, and agent integration in a single product for enterprise teams. The launch, announced this week at the company's 11/11 Summit in New York, puts the voice AI developer in direct competition with Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola, all of which have shipped rival capabilities in the dictation and meeting-notes category over the past few months.

The app remains in preview. Users must sign up for early access rather than download it from an app store, which signals that the product is not yet generally available.

What does ElevenAI actually do?

The feature set matches what the category has standardized on. ElevenAI takes notes across a user's meetings and notifies other participants that the conversation is being recorded. That notification step matters for compliance, since recording disclosure is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions.

The app also lets users query data across past meetings and get live assistance during a chat, so a team member can recall a key detail from an older conversation without searching transcripts manually.

On top of transcription, companies can integrate ElevenAgent to take follow-up actions, such as writing a draft email based on meeting notes. In plain terms, the app does not just record — it can start the next step of the work.

The dictation feature converts speech into cleaned-up text inside any application, with support for more than 90 languages. ElevenLabs said the app understands industry-specific terms across both dictation and meeting transcription, which addresses a common failure point for general-purpose speech recognition in technical fields.

Why is a voice AI company building a productivity app?

The mechanism here is straightforward. ElevenAI lets ElevenLabs use its own speech models as a showcase and run its agent platforms to move context between steps. The app is a demonstration surface for the underlying model stack.

The company's positioning may not be to compete head-on in the productivity market. Instead, the goal appears to be giving enterprise teams a reason not to buy separate licenses to a dedicated notetaker and to use the ElevenLabs solution instead. That is a bundling play: one vendor covers voice, notes, and follow-up actions.

The competitive backdrop reinforces this. All meeting-related tools are rushing to become central knowledge hubs for companies, while also aiming to automate knowledge extraction and follow-up actions. Whoever becomes the system of record for meeting knowledge gains a strong position in that race.

What else shipped this week?

In the same week, ElevenLabs launched the v3 series of its Scribe speech-to-text models. The release includes:

• Live transcription capabilities
• Fine-tuning on company-owned data, so enterprises can adapt models to their vocabulary
• A tool to pick the right language model based on use case
• A routine creator that automates tasks based on the transcript

The fine-tuning option is the most commercially significant item on that list. It gives enterprises a way to lock model quality to their own terminology, which raises switching costs once a deployment is tuned.

ElevenAI bundles note-taking, dictation, agents, and a 90-plus-language speech stack into one preview product aimed at replacing separate notetaker licenses. Whether it converts from preview to a broadly licensed enterprise tool will determine if ElevenLabs becomes a serious player in the meeting-knowledge market now contested by Fireflies, Wispr Flow, and Granola.
