Otter.ai

Otter has been at this longer than most — meeting transcription, speaker diarisation, in-meeting Q&A, and a searchable archive across every call you've ever had. The OtterPilot bot joins Zoom/Meet/Teams and posts a summary with action items into Slack or email. It's noisier than Granola (sends a bot to the call) but more thorough on long-form output and back-search across hundreds of past meetings. Sales teams in particular get value from the cross-meeting search.

What it's good for

  • 1

    Sales teams searching across every customer call for "what did they say about pricing?"

  • 2

    Recurring meeting summaries auto-posted to Slack with action items extracted

  • 3

    Multi-speaker meetings where speaker labels and a clean transcript matter for compliance

  • 4

    Async stakeholders who need a structured summary instead of attending every meeting

  • 5

    Building a searchable corporate memory of every call across an organisation

How to use it

Connect Otter to your calendar so OtterPilot auto-joins meetings on relevant invites. After the call, the summary lands in your inbox / Slack with action items, key takeaways, and a searchable transcript. For longer-term value, use the search bar across all past meetings to surface customer quotes, decisions, or commitments. The free tier covers basic transcription; paid plans unlock the calendar integrations, longer recordings, and team-wide search.
