What is Fellow?
Fellow's public changelog has been silent since 2021 — no recent direction is observable here.
The visible signal stops in spring 2021. The last few releases were calendar-extension touch-ups: action items appearing directly in the Google Calendar extension, public view-only meeting links for external attendees, and multi-calendar sync within a single Google or Office account. Nothing in this dataset reflects the past several years of Fellow's actual work.
What is Krisp?
Krisp is selling real-time voice manipulation to contact centers, and the defense against it too.
Krisp ships a weekly web-update cadence for Call Center AI plus periodic desktop builds, and now folds them into a monthly recap. Recent substance sits in the weeklies: audit logs exposed through the portal API, Valencian added to Voice Translation, admin controls for translated-speech speed and a Spell mode for names and numbers, and Accent Conversion models running on both sides of a call. The monthly post adds no releases of its own, restating work the weekly entries already carried.
Fellow vs Krisp: editorial side-by-side
Fellow
0.0COMMS
Fellow's public changelog has been silent since 2021 — no recent direction is observable here.
◆ Current state
The visible signal stops in spring 2021. The last few releases were calendar-extension touch-ups: action items appearing directly in the Google Calendar extension, public view-only meeting links for external attendees, and multi-calendar sync within a single Google or Office account. Nothing in this dataset reflects the past several years of Fellow's actual work.
◆ Where it's heading
From the entries alone, no current trajectory can be inferred — the data is years stale. Whether Fellow has shifted to AI-meeting-notes or remained focused on the original meeting-management surface is not visible here and would be guesswork to assert.
◆ Prediction
Predictions can't be grounded in this data. The most useful next step is to refresh Fellow's changelog source so that present-day moves are captured.
Krisp
6.3COMMS
Krisp is selling real-time voice manipulation to contact centers, and the defense against it too.
◆ Current state
Krisp ships a weekly web-update cadence for Call Center AI plus periodic desktop builds, and now folds them into a monthly recap. Recent substance sits in the weeklies: audit logs exposed through the portal API, Valencian added to Voice Translation, admin controls for translated-speech speed and a Spell mode for names and numbers, and Accent Conversion models running on both sides of a call. The monthly post adds no releases of its own, restating work the weekly entries already carried.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is real-time voice manipulation sold to contact centers, not consumers. Accent Conversion now runs on both sides of a call, translation gained speed control and a spelling mode, and the language list keeps growing. Voice Security is the defensive counterpart - the same synthesis capability that powers accent conversion is what makes deepfake detection necessary, and Krisp sells both sides. The steady stream of admin controls, audit logs and analytics portals shows an enterprise procurement checklist being worked through rather than a product still finding its shape.
◆ Prediction
Expect language and accent coverage to keep widening and Voice Security to move from paid trial toward general availability, with more of the admin surface following audit logs into the portal API.
