Who Is This For?
Krisp is essential for remote workers, freelancers, and anyone who takes calls from noisy environments — home offices with kids, coffee shops, co-working spaces, or open-plan offices. It's also valuable for sales teams and customer support agents who need crystal-clear audio on every call, and for professionals who want AI meeting notes without switching their existing meeting platform.
About Krisp
Krisp started as a noise cancellation tool and has grown into a full AI meeting assistant — but the noise cancellation remains its killer feature. The AI removes background noise from both your microphone and your speaker in real time, working with any communication app: Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Slack, Discord, phone calls, and anything else that uses your computer's audio.
The noise cancellation is genuinely impressive. It handles dogs barking, construction noise, keyboard typing, coffee shop chatter, and even other people talking in the background — filtering everything out so the person on the other end only hears your voice. It works bidirectionally, so you also hear a clean audio feed from the other side, even if they're in a noisy environment.
Beyond noise cancellation, Krisp now includes AI meeting transcription and note-taking. It automatically transcribes your calls, generates summaries with key discussion points and action items, and provides talk-time analytics so you can see how much you're speaking versus listening. For sales teams, the talk-time ratio insight is particularly useful for coaching.
Krisp works at the system audio level — it creates a virtual microphone and speaker that you select in your communication app's settings. This means it's app-agnostic and works with everything, unlike meeting-specific tools that only support Zoom or Google Meet. The free plan includes limited noise cancellation minutes, while paid plans offer unlimited usage and full AI meeting features.
