Otter.ai

Otter.ai is an AI-powered meeting assistant that automatically joins your Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings to record audio, transcribe conversations in real time, identify speakers, and generate summaries with action items. The platform transforms meetings from ephemeral events into searchable, referenceable documents — enabling team members who missed a meeting to catch up in minutes rather than watching a full recording. Otter's AI generates structured meeting summaries highlighting key decisions, action items with assigned owners, and follow-up questions. The real-time transcription feature displays live captions during meetings, improving accessibility and allowing participants to focus on discussion rather than note-taking. OtterPilot, the autonomous meeting agent, can join scheduled meetings automatically even when you cannot attend, recording and summarizing on your behalf. The platform integrates with major calendar, CRM, and project management tools to push meeting summaries and action items into existing workflows. The free Basic plan includes 300 transcription minutes per month with 30-minute conversation limits, while the $17/month Pro plan extends to 1,200 minutes with 90-minute conversations and platform integrations. Otter supports English transcription with speaker identification that improves accuracy over time as it learns individual voices. For professionals who spend significant time in meetings, Otter.ai converts unstructured conversation time into structured, actionable documentation that increases team accountability and knowledge retention.
