On January 26, 2023, Supernormal, a generative AI startup, announced it had raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by Balderton. Supernormal’s AI meeting transcription and note-taking service uses OpenAI’s GPT-3 large language model to summarize and annotate conversations and presentations as they happen.
AI meeting assistants have become increasingly popular in recent years, but Supernormal is likely to attract even more attention with its version that uses the currently best-known generative AI model. The AI integrates with business communication platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and provides users with a list of highlights from the meeting, such as when goals were set, decisions were made, and action items were scheduled.
The AI also uses the data from the meetings it transcribes and the edited notes to learn more about what its clients are looking for, so it can refine its approach in the future. Supernormal has raised $12 million since launching in October 2020, and plans to use the new capital to upgrade and expand its generative AI tools.
The demand for AI meeting assistants has surged over the last few years, and the pandemic has only accelerated their adoption. Companies like Otter.ai, Airgram, Xembly, Kore.ai, and Speechmatics have all raised millions in funding for their AI services.
With Supernormal’s GPT-3 powered AI, businesses can now access real-time transcription and annotations of their meetings, helping them to make better decisions and take action faster than ever before.
