Krisp (or Krisp Technologies Inc.) is an Armenian AI-based audio processing software company that offers real-time noise and voice suppression technology. The company was founded in 2017 in Yerevan, Armenia, [1] by Davit Baghdasaryan and Artavazd Minasyan, and is based in Berkeley, California. [2]

Krisp's main product is a software application that can remove background noises and voices from audio in real-time. The software uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the audio signal and separate the speech from background noise, allowing the speech to be output in clear, noise-free audio. This technology has a wide range of applications, including teleconferencing, remote work, podcasting, and video production.

The software can be used as a standalone application, or it can be integrated into existing audio applications such as Skype, Zoom, and Slack. [3] This allows users to enjoy noise-free audio without having to switch between different applications. Additionally, the software can be trained to recognize specific types of noise, such as traffic noise or dog barking, which makes it more effective in suppressing noise in specific environments. [4]

Krisp was on the list of Forbes’ America's Most Promising Artificial Intelligence Companies of 2020. [5] Additionally, Krisp was on the TIME List of The 100 Best Inventions of 2020. [6] It has also won two Webby Awards.

In July 2020, Discord added noise suppression into its mobile app using the Krisp audio-filtering technology. [7]

Lawbots are a broad class of customer-facing legal AI applications that are used to automate specific legal tasks, such as document automation and legal research. The terms robot lawyer and lawyer bot are used as synonyms to lawbot. A robot lawyer or a robo-lawyer refers to a legal AI application that can perform tasks that are typically done by paralegals or young associates at law firms. However, there is some debate on the correctness of the term. Some commentators say that legal AI is technically speaking neither a lawyer nor a robot and should not be referred to as such. Other commentators believe that the term can be misleading and note that the robot lawyer of the future won't be one all-encompassing application but a collection of specialized bots for various tasks.
