Granola and Wispr Compete to Become the Same Meeting Companion
· New York time
Granola is adding dictation to its AI meeting notetaker, after Wispr added meeting notes to its dictation app. The two products are approaching the same set of tasks from opposite directions. Dictation turns spoken words into text, while a meeting notetaker helps capture what happened in a conversation. Combining the features gives each company a way to compete for more of the user's voice-based workflow. The rivalry is a neat reversal: the notetaker wants to take dictation, and the dictation app wants to take notes. Both are betting that people would rather use one assistant for related work than switch between tools. For the person attending the meeting, the contest may be less dramatic than the product roadmaps suggest. The immediate goal is still to leave with usable notes and fewer words to type afterward. The assistants, meanwhile, are busy agreeing that each other's features look excellent.
