Krisp
Krisp began as AI noise cancellation and now sells an AI Meeting Assistant that removes background noise, softens accents and takes notes in any calling app. It installs as a virtual microphone and speaker, so it records Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack huddles and phone calls from the user's own computer without a bot, and a bot can still be sent to meetings the user cannot attend. Mobile apps cover in person conversations. English transcription runs on the device, and 16 more languages, including Spanish, French, German, Hindi and Korean, are transcribed on Krisp's servers.
After each meeting Krisp writes a summary, decisions and action items, assigns next steps to teammates and answers questions through an AI chat. Sales teams get notes in HubSpot, Pipedrive and Affinity on every plan and in Salesforce on Advanced, where managers also get a manager view and meetings grouped by company. Slack, Notion, Teams, Asana, Jira, monday.com and Zapier carry notes further, and an API, webhooks and an MCP server feed Claude, ChatGPT and other agents.
Core costs $8 per user per month on annual billing ($16 monthly) with unlimited notes and recording and an hour a day of accent conversion. Advanced costs $15 ($30) and adds Salesforce, ConnectWise, admin enforcement of recording mode, four hours a day of speaker side accent conversion and unlimited listener side conversion. Enterprise is quoted and adds SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 report access, on device recording and HIPAA support.
Meeting data never trains Krisp's models, outside providers are opted out of training, and deleted content is hard deleted. Participants can hear an audio prompt and see an automatic chat message about recording when those notifications are switched on. Krisp's call center and developer products are sold separately and sit outside this profile.

Noise cancellation, accent conversion, on device speech recognition, summaries, action items and the meeting chat all run on models, most of them built in house. Take the AI away and nothing in the meeting assistant would remain to sell. Krisp also runs its own benchmark of speech to text accuracy across 11 engines.
Note taking starts from the calendar or the desktop widget, and next steps are assigned to teammates automatically after each meeting. On Advanced and Enterprise, admins can enforce a recording mode, turn off automatic sharing and control link access across the team. Whether CRM updates wait for a person to review them, and how a wrong one is reversed, goes unaddressed.
English speech recognition is Krisp's own model running on the user's device, and Microsoft Azure generates summaries from the transcripts with minimal data sent. Which provider handles server transcription for the other 16 languages is not stated. Participant notices about recording and AI notes are available but have to be switched on.
Transcription runs at 96 percent accuracy in 17 languages by Krisp's own measure, with no test set or method attached. Customer praise centers on noise cancellation for call center clients rather than on meeting notes, and no meeting assistant customer reports a measured result over a stated period.
Recording consent is handled in the product. With participant notifications on, Krisp plays a short audio prompt that the meeting is being recorded and posts an automatic chat message in Zoom, Teams and Meet, and the optional bot shares a one click link anyone can use to remove it. Admins on paid team plans can enforce the recording mode, and which state and national consent rules these tools target is not spelled out.
Krisp acts as controller for its own customers and visitors and as processor for authorized users, names its lawful bases purpose by purpose, and answers EU and UK data subject requests within a month. Transfers rely on the 2021 standard contractual clauses and the UK addendum, with appointed representatives in the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. A DPA is signed on request, and the lawful basis for recording other meeting participants sits with the customer.
Meeting content comes from the user's own microphone and speaker, uploads, and the calendar and integration data the user connects. Krisp adds nothing to it, though it draws on outside professional data about prospects for its own marketing. Google Workspace data never trains general AI models.
Krisp works as a virtual microphone and speaker, so capture needs no integration with Zoom, Teams or Meet, and the optional bot joins as a named participant. Automatic chat notices are posted through the meeting app using the operating system's accessibility permission. How that automation fits each platform's terms is not addressed, while CRM and calendar connections use official sign in routes.
Meeting data never trains Krisp's models unless a user consents, and every third party provider, Azure included, is opted out of training. Recordings and notes stay until the user deletes them, at which point they are hard deleted so they cannot be recovered. Audio captured for non English transcription is deleted as soon as the transcript exists, and support conversations are kept for no more than six months.
Other participants can be told through an audio prompt and an automatic chat message, and the bot carries a removal link, but these notices depend on settings rather than running by default. Bot free capture is sold as a way to skip a visible participant, without claiming that people stay unaware. Krisp takes no position on Article 50 of the EU AI Act.
HubSpot, Pipedrive and Affinity connect on every paid plan, with Salesforce and ConnectWise on Advanced, alongside Slack, Notion, Teams, Asana, Jira, monday.com and Zapier. An API, personal and team webhooks and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor expose meeting content. Which CRM objects receive notes and how matching works are not spelled out.
The backend runs entirely on AWS, all meeting data is stored in the United States, and accounts are separated at the application layer rather than in separate databases. English transcription stays on the user's device. A choice of data center location comes only with Enterprise, and standard plans have no regional storage.
Krisp holds SOC 2 Type II and a PCI DSS attestation, offers HIPAA support with a BAA, runs third party penetration tests twice a year and pays bug bounties through HackerOne. A trust center hosts the reports, and SOC 2 report access is an Enterprise benefit. Data is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or later and AES 256.
Core costs $8 per user per month annually or $16 monthly, and Advanced $15 or $30, each with unlimited transcription, recording and notes plus set daily accent conversion hours and storage. Enterprise is quoted, volume pricing starts above 50 members, and a seven day trial needs no card. Extra storage up to 2 TB carries no stated price.
Customers can request a full copy of their data or deletion by email, and trial users keep a post trial window to export. The API, webhooks and integrations move notes into other tools, and account deletion removes all associated data irreversibly. Renewal notice terms and a bulk export of recordings go unaddressed.
Nothing goes to prospects from the meeting assistant beyond the recording notice it can post in a meeting chat. There is no outbound email, sending infrastructure or reputation monitoring.
The assistant targets finance teams, consultants, legal teams, sales teams and remote teams, from individuals on Core to organizations rolling out Enterprise. Transcripts and summaries cover 17 languages. Storage is US only, and the share of sales users is not given.
