What is Otter?
Otter is an AI meeting assistant for recording, transcribing, and organizing spoken conversations. It can join Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet calls, produce live transcripts, identify speakers, summarize discussions, and capture action items. Users can also record through its web, desktop, iOS, and Android apps or import supported audio and video files.
Otter supports work before, during, and after meetings. It can prepare pre-call briefs from earlier discussions, provide real-time prompts during calls, and help create follow-ups afterward. Otter AI Chat answers questions using information from meetings and connected applications, while search and sharing tools make past conversations easier to revisit.
