Apple Watch Gets Free AI Note-Taking with Siri Recap

pymnts.com

Apple announced Siri Recap, a free AI note-taking feature for Apple Watch that generates summaries of conversations without recording audio, arriving in beta later this year for Series 12 and Ultra 4 models. The feature listens via the S11 chip's Secure Exclave, encrypts audio to a paired iPhone for transcription and summarization, then permanently deletes it. Siri Recap provides titles, summaries and key points, but no transcripts or speaker identification, and can run continuously or on a schedule. Competitors offer deeper functionality: Granola launched a Watch app in July with transcripts and action items, while Otter and Fireflies focus on enterprise integrations. Apple's privacy approach, lacking an alert unlike its Live Rewind feature, may face consumer skepticism about an always-listening watch.
