Otter.ai

Otter.ai is an AI-powered meeting assistant that automatically transcribes, summarizes, and captures action items from meetings across Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. It joins meetings as a participant, records audio and video, and generates comprehensive notes in real-time — eliminating the need for manual note-taking and ensuring no important detail is ever missed.

Key features include automatic meeting transcription with speaker identification, real-time AI summaries generated during the meeting, automated action item extraction and assignment, OtterPilot that joins scheduled meetings automatically, searchable transcript archive, chat-style Q&A about meeting content, integration with calendars and video platforms, and the ability to generate follow-up emails from meeting notes. Otter also supports live transcription for in-person conversations via mobile app.

Otter offers a free plan with 300 monthly transcription minutes and AI summaries for 3 meetings. The Pro plan costs $16.99/user/month for 1,200 minutes and unlimited AI features, the Business plan at $30/user/month adds admin controls and OtterPilot for sales, and Enterprise includes custom limits, HIPAA compliance, and SSO. Otter.ai has become essential for remote and hybrid teams, saving hours per week in meeting documentation and follow-up.
