Otter AI

Otter AI began as an AI notetaker and has grown into what the company calls a "Conversational Knowledge Engine." At its core it transcribes meetings in real time, with live transcription, speaker recognition, and multi-language support. Every meeting becomes a searchable record rather than a lost recording. Otter then layers on summaries that include decisions, action items, and insights, plus automatic capture and assignment of next steps.

Beyond transcription, Otter positions itself as a meeting agent that works before, during, and after a call. It delivers pre-call briefings with prior discussions, action items, and updates, offers Live Assist coaching during conversations based on your history and company playbooks, and follows up automatically in the tools you already use. Otter AI Chat lets you ask questions across all your meetings and connected apps to generate follow-ups, reports, and other content.

Otter provides flexible ways to capture meetings: you can send an AI notetaker bot automatically, record bot-free on Mac, Windows, or Chrome, or record on mobile, and it supports live transcription and speaker recognition. Channels group meetings by team, project, or topic for shared collaboration, and an MCP Server lets ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI chat tools securely access your meeting knowledge. Otter markets enterprise-grade security, governance, and compliance controls, and highlights use cases across Sales (CRM sync, live coaching), Education (lecture transcripts, study notes), and Media (interview transcription and content creation).
