In this episode, we explore Otter AI, a popular meeting assistant tool that has somehow slipped under our radar until now. Claiming to be “the number one AI meeting agent,” Otter offers a range of features including real-time transcription, meeting summaries, and action item tracking across various platforms. We examine its core functionality, pricing tiers, and integrations before diving into a live demo that showcases its capabilities. The standout features include real-time transcription in multiple languages, customizable templates for different meeting types, and built-in sentiment analysis. While many of its features are similar to other meeting assistants we’ve covered, Otter’s implementation and user experience, particularly its template system, make it noteworthy in an increasingly crowded market of AI tools that wrap similar underlying models in different interfaces.
