Otter AI
Otter AI is an AI-powered meeting assistant that provides real-time transcription, automated note-taking, and a conversational knowledge engine. It integrates seamlessly with major video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and also offers a desktop application for Mac and Windows that allows recording meetings without a bot joining the call. Otter captures the full conversation, identifies individual speakers, and delivers live transcription in multiple languages. After each meeting, it automatically generates a concise summary highlighting key decisions, action items, and insights, making it easy to review and share with stakeholders. Beyond transcription, Otter serves as a searchable knowledge base for all your meetings. Its AI Chat feature enables users to ask natural language questions across their entire meeting history and connected apps, instantly retrieving relevant information, generating follow-up emails, reports, and content. This transforms scattered spoken conversations into a structured, queryable resource, saving hours of manual recall and note-searching. Otter also includes productivity and team collaboration features such as automated action item tracking with assignment, channels for organizing meetings by team, project, or topic, and integrations with CRM tools to push sales insights directly into workflows. With enterprise-grade capabilities like live demo automation for sales and admin controls, Otter aims to make meetings more efficient, accountable, and actionable for individuals and organizations of all sizes.
