What Otter Meeting Agent does

  • Transcribes meetings live, in multiple languages, with speaker recognition.

What people use it for

  • Follow up faster

    Use the captured action items and summary to write the follow-up while the meeting is fresh.

  • Search what was said

    Ask Otter AI Chat a question that spans several meetings instead of reopening each recording.

  • Group meetings by topic

    Use Channels to keep meetings for one team, project or topic in a shared space.

Who it suits

  • People who spend the day in meetings and want notes without typing them.
  • Teams in sales, education, media or recruiting, which Otter names on its homepage.
