Otter.ai is an AI tool that joins your meetings, records and transcribes them as they happen, then writes summaries you can search and ask questions about.
In plain words
Connect your calendar, and Otter's notetaker joins your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls to record and transcribe them live. You can also record from your own device. The transcript shows who is speaking, and Otter writes a summary with decisions and action items. An AI chat searches across your past meetings to answer questions and help draft follow-ups.
A quick example
Imagine a student recording a lecture with Otter. Afterwards they have searchable notes and a summary, and they can ask Otter's chat what the lecturer said about next week's test.
Where you'll meet it
- Work meetings on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
- Lectures and interviews turned into searchable notes.
