Otter.ai

AI meeting assistant that records calls, writes live transcripts and summaries, and captures action items.

Overview

Otter.ai records meetings and conversations and turns them into searchable transcripts. It can join Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet calls, or record directly from a Mac or Windows desktop without a bot, from a phone, or from the browser. Transcription runs live with speaker recognition, and after each meeting Otter writes a summary with decisions and action items. An AI chat searches across your past meetings to answer questions and draft follow-ups, and it can brief you before a call using earlier discussions. Channels group meetings by team or topic. Paid plans add integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zapier. A free plan is available.
