What is Krisp?

Krisp adds deepfake detection and expands Voice Translation as its Call Center AI platform deepens enterprise compliance tools.

Krisp has shifted from a personal noise-cancellation app to a B2B Call Center AI platform, shipping weekly web updates and biweekly desktop releases. The current product spans real-time Voice Translation across 12+ languages including Cantonese and Valencian, Accent Conversion with per-regional models, and admin-layer tools including Conditional Call Recording, Live Call Audit enforcement, and a new Notification Center. A lower-cost evaluation tier appeared in August, suggesting friction at the top of the sales funnel.

Krisp vs Superhuman: editorial side-by-side

5.0

Krisp adds deepfake detection and expands Voice Translation as its Call Center AI platform deepens enterprise compliance tools.

◆ Current state

Krisp has shifted from a personal noise-cancellation app to a B2B Call Center AI platform, shipping weekly web updates and biweekly desktop releases. The current product spans real-time Voice Translation across 12+ languages including Cantonese and Valencian, Accent Conversion with per-regional models, and admin-layer tools including Conditional Call Recording, Live Call Audit enforcement, and a new Notification Center. A lower-cost evaluation tier appeared in August, suggesting friction at the top of the sales funnel.

◆ Where it's heading

The update cadence and content point at enterprise expansion: each weekly batch adds granular admin controls, API access for audit data, and new BPO visibility tools. Voice Translation language coverage is widening consistently. Deepfake risk visibility—added in the most recent batch—signals Krisp moving into a trust-and-compliance layer for AI-assisted calls, not just audio quality.

◆ Prediction

The deepfake detection work is nascent; expect it to grow into a standalone compliance dashboard. Enterprise RFPs increasingly require call-authenticity guarantees, and Krisp's audio-layer position gives it a defensible angle on that problem that CRM or WFM vendors can't replicate.

S5.0

Superhuman is becoming the email layer for AI agents, not just the fastest email client.

◆ Current state

Superhuman has reached cross-platform parity with a complete mobile redesign and expanded its AI footprint substantially. Auto Drafts 2.0 now draws from inbox, calendar, and web context to produce drafts that users send unedited 60% of the time. The MCP integration exposes all connected Gmail and Outlook accounts to Claude, ChatGPT, and other agents simultaneously.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is converging on a model where Superhuman acts as the intelligent intermediary between users and their email — whether the user is driving it directly or delegating to an AI agent. Outlook category support and Gmail label sync for drafts extend this to more of the enterprise email surface. The direction is less about speed and more about AI-augmented inbox ownership.

◆ Prediction

The next move is likely deeper agentic capability: scheduled tasks, autonomous triage, or proactive send — going beyond drafting into taking action without the user in the loop.
