What is Krisp
Krisp is an AI-powered voice productivity platform that operates at the system audio level, placing an AI layer between your microphone/speakers and any meeting or recording app. It provides bidirectional noise cancellation — removing background noise, voices, and echoes from both inbound and outbound audio — alongside a bot-free AI meeting assistant that delivers real-time transcription, automated meeting summaries, and action item extraction without joining calls as a visible participant. The platform integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and 800+ other platforms without requiring per-app configuration.
Beyond noise cancellation, Krisp has expanded into a full voice AI suite covering three distinct products: an AI Meeting Assistant for professionals and teams, a Call Center AI for contact centers needing accent conversion, voice translation, and agent assist, and an AI Voice SDK for developers embedding Krisp’s capabilities into their own applications. Transcripts and summaries are available in 16+ languages, and the platform supports both online and in-person meeting capture via desktop and mobile apps.
Reviewers and podcasters note that Krisp is particularly useful for recording in noisy environments — filtering out ambient noise, keyboard typing, traffic, and background voices — making it a practical tool for remote workers, podcasters, streamers, and call center agents who need professional-quality audio without expensive hardware or soundproofing.

What makes Krisp unique
Krisp's core differentiator is that it operates at the system audio level as a virtual audio device, meaning it works with virtually any communication or recording app without bots, plugins, or per-app setup. Unlike competitors such as Otter.ai or Fireflies.ai that focus primarily on transcription and note-taking, Krisp uniquely combines industry-leading bidirectional noise cancellation with its AI meeting assistant — so the audio is cleaned at the source before transcription even begins, producing more accurate results. Its accent conversion feature (supporting Indian, Filipino, South African, LatAm, and other accents) and real-time voice translation for call centers are capabilities not commonly found in general-purpose meeting assistants.
