If you use GSuite Enterprise, you can use Meet's built-in noise cancellation which runs on TPUs in a DC.

It's basically magic. You can have someone vacuuming the room right next to you or cook dinner and your coworkers won't notice. Typing noise is just gone. It has improved our meetings so much.

https://krisp.ai works locally and is cheaper, but it noticeably degrades quality (tested with the Chrome extension only).

Can you describe this? Tried googling but couldn’t find due to TPUs being so ubiquitous.

As in what is a TPU? It's Tensor Processing Unit.

It's like a CPU/GPU, but specifically for doing the kind of math you come across with Machine Learning / Neural Network applications (mostly: lots and lots of dot products).
