TL;DR
What is ElevenAI from ElevenLabs?
ElevenAI is a new Mac app from ElevenLabs that types what you say and writes up your meetings. It could replace two apps for people who live on calls. It's early access only, so join the waitlist if you're curious and keep your current tools for now.
What did ElevenLabs launch?
ElevenLabs previewed ElevenAI at its ElevenLabs Summit on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and opened early access the same day. TechCrunch covered it in more detail yesterday, describing it as a note-taking and dictation app aimed at teams and businesses.
ElevenLabs is best known for AI voices. TechCrunch puts the company's value at US$22 billion. ElevenAI is its first app built for everyday office work rather than for making audio.
What can ElevenAI do?
- Dictation in any app. Hold a key and speak wherever you can type. It strips out filler words and fixes punctuation in more than 90 languages.
- Your own vocabulary. Add product names, acronyms and industry terms so they're spelled right.
- Meeting notes. It records meetings on your Mac, in person or on a call. Afterward it writes a summary with action items, labels who said what, and drafts a follow-up email.
- Works with other AI tools. Notes and transcripts are available to other AI apps through MCP, a standard way for AI apps to share data.
- Live help on calls for teams that connect ElevenAgents, ElevenLabs' AI agents for customer conversations.
Is ElevenAI private?
ElevenLabs says it doesn't store your audio and that your transcript history stays on your Mac. The app shows a notice on video calls when it's taking notes, so other people on the call can see it.
That notice matters. Rules on recording conversations vary by state, and some require everyone's consent. Telling people up front is good manners anyway.
How does it compare with other meeting note apps?
TechCrunch names Fireflies, Wispr Flow and Granola as rivals. Wispr Flow is mostly dictation; Fireflies and Granola are mostly meeting notes. ElevenAI tries to do both in one app. Fireflies, for its part, is pushing its notetaker into email and Slack.
ElevenLabs hasn't published a price, so there's no fair price comparison yet.

Our take
ElevenLabs knows speech better than most, so dictation that gets names and jargon right in 90-plus languages is a sensible bet. One app for typing by voice and writing up calls would save a monthly fee for a lot of freelancers.
But it's Mac only, early access and unpriced. We wouldn't drop a notetaker you already like for a waitlist. Sign up if you're curious, and when it opens, compare it on the two things that matter most: how accurate the notes are and where your recordings end up.

What to do now
- Join the early access list on the ElevenAI page if you work on a Mac.
- Keep your current notetaker until ElevenAI has a public price.
- Tell people when you record. Say it at the start of the call, even with an on-screen notice.
- List your hard words now, like client names and product terms, so you can add them on day one.
