What is Krisp?

Krisp has stopped being a noise-cancellation utility and become a contact-center voice platform.

Every entry in the last two months is filed under Call Center AI. The product now spans Voice Translation, Accent Conversion, Voice Security with deepfake detection and agent voice verification, Speech Analytics with screen recording, and an Enterprise Analytics Portal for sharing results with clients. Releases alternate between web-side batches roughly weekly and desktop app builds, and admin controls appear in nearly every one.

What is Superhuman?

Superhuman is rebuilding around the assistant: pre-drafted replies and multi-account MCP.

Superhuman ships small and often, and its releases now split cleanly in two. One half is conventional client work — calendar on Android, multi-day views on iPhone and iPad, personalized availability sharing. The other is an aggressive agent surface: Auto Drafts 2.0 pre-drafts a reply to every message that needs one, and the Mail MCP now drives multiple Gmail and Outlook accounts from Claude, ChatGPT and Codex.

Krisp vs Superhuman: editorial side-by-side

6.3

Krisp has stopped being a noise-cancellation utility and become a contact-center voice platform.

◆ Current state

Every entry in the last two months is filed under Call Center AI. The product now spans Voice Translation, Accent Conversion, Voice Security with deepfake detection and agent voice verification, Speech Analytics with screen recording, and an Enterprise Analytics Portal for sharing results with clients. Releases alternate between web-side batches roughly weekly and desktop app builds, and admin controls appear in nearly every one.

◆ 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 for names and numbers, 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 is selling both sides. The steady stream of admin controls, audit logs, and automated data cleanup shows an enterprise procurement checklist being worked through.

◆ Prediction

Expect the language and accent model coverage to keep widening and Voice Security to move from paid trial toward general availability. The portal API gaining audit logs suggests more of the admin surface will become programmatic.

S7.5

Superhuman is rebuilding around the assistant: pre-drafted replies and multi-account MCP.

◆ Current state

Superhuman ships small and often, and its releases now split cleanly in two. One half is conventional client work — calendar on Android, multi-day views on iPhone and iPad, personalized availability sharing. The other is an aggressive agent surface: Auto Drafts 2.0 pre-drafts a reply to every message that needs one, and the Mail MCP now drives multiple Gmail and Outlook accounts from Claude, ChatGPT and Codex.

◆ Where it's heading

The centre of gravity is moving off Superhuman's own client. Each recent release makes the mailbox more usable from somewhere else — first a Codex plugin with prebuilt workflows, then parallel search across every connected account — while in-app work is mostly mobile parity. Superhuman is positioning as the mail layer assistants call, and it names the single-account limit of the first-party Gmail and Outlook connectors as the reason to switch.

◆ Prediction

Expect the MCP surface to keep absorbing the features that only the client could do — Split Inbox triage, Read Statuses, Smart Send are already listed — with the native apps continuing to trail on platform parity.
