About Otter.ai

Otter.ai is the leading AI meeting assistant for automatic transcription, summarization, and action item extraction. It integrates directly with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, joining meetings automatically and transcribing everything in real time with speaker identification. After each meeting, Otter generates an AI summary highlighting key decisions, action items, and follow-ups. The OtterPilot feature joins meetings on your behalf when you're unable to attend and delivers a complete summary afterward. Otter's search across all transcripts helps you find specific conversations and decisions from past meetings. The free tier provides 300 minutes of transcription per month; Pro ($16.99/month) adds unlimited transcription and imports. Business plans add team features and CRM integration.
