About
Otter AI is a powerful AI-powered meeting notetaker designed to help individuals and teams get the most out of every conversation. The platform attends your meetings automatically, delivering live transcription with speaker recognition across multiple languages. After each meeting, Otter generates concise, structured summaries with decisions, action items, and key insights — eliminating the need for manual note-taking. Otter AI Chat allows users to query any past meeting using natural language or voice, making it easy to recall details, draft follow-ups, and create reports. For sales teams, Otter syncs deal details and next steps directly to CRM platforms, streamlining pipeline management. Educators benefit from automated lecture transcripts and note organization, while media professionals can quickly extract quotes and structure interview content. Specialized agents extend the platform further: the SDR Agent qualifies leads and books meetings from your website, while the Recruiting Agent surfaces candidate insights and syncs notes with Greenhouse via Zapier. Conversations are organized into Channels by team or project for easy collaboration. Available on web, desktop, mobile, and as a Chrome extension, Otter scales from individual users to enterprise deployments with robust security and compliance controls.
