ElevenLabs launches ElevenAI app for meeting notes and dictation

ElevenLabs, known for its voice AI technology, is expanding into workplace productivity with ElevenAI. The experimental desktop app debuted at the company's Summit NYC on November 11, 2026, offering meeting note-taking, real-time dictation and agent integration. Currently in preview, users must sign up for early access, which is free during this initial phase.

What ElevenAI does

The app's dictation feature runs on Scribe v3, ElevenLabs' latest speech-to-text model, converting speech into text in real-time. For meetings, it provides transcription, speaker identification, automated summaries and action item generation. The agent layer connects to ElevenAgents, offering contextual assistance beyond simple conversation archiving.

Privacy focus

ElevenAI emphasizes privacy with built-in consent mechanisms, including on-screen notices during video calls with Google Meet as a particular focus. Transcripts are stored locally on Mac devices, and the app doesn't retain audio. ElevenLabs also highlights its SOC 2 and ISO certifications to appeal to enterprise customers.

Competitive landscape

ElevenLabs enters a crowded market where Fireflies, Wispr Flow and Granola have already launched competing features. Throughout 2026, these products have been converging, with dictation tools adding meeting features and vice versa, while incorporating AI assistants.

The launch was part of a broader summit where ElevenLabs also previewed an Interaction Engine and announced Memory and Routines features still in development. The company reported its partner program now includes over 550 firms across 44 countries and an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA.

Market implications

With a reported $22 billion valuation, ElevenAI represents ElevenLabs' attempt to move from voice infrastructure to direct user relationships. For competitors like Fireflies, Wispr Flow and Granola, the challenge lies in distribution against ElevenLabs' established partner network and NVIDIA relationship.

The experimental status, gated access and Mac-only limitation may deter teams needing broader platform coverage. A wider rollout is expected as the product matures.
