What it does
Otter.ai is an AI notetaker. It joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet calls, records the audio, and turns speech into a live, searchable transcript with AI summaries and action items. It labels who said what, so nobody takes manual notes. Users can also upload audio or video files and set custom words for industry terms. It is made by otter.ai. Admins on paid plans manage users through single sign-on and SCIM provisioning and can connect Otter to Salesforce or HubSpot; Enterprise adds API and webhook access and custom CRM integrations. A HIPAA compliance add-on is available, and data is encrypted with TLS and AES-256. SOC 2 and ISO certification are not listed on its public pricing page, so ask directly.
Where it can help
This fits a team that wants to end manual meeting notes without a big rollout. Start with a pilot in one department on the Business plan, about $20 per user per month billed annually, and confirm the current rate with Otter. Business and Enterprise add single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, and admin controls as more people join. Sales and customer success teams often get the most value, since Otter can push summaries into Salesforce or HubSpot. Watch two things: transcription accuracy drops with heavy accents or crosstalk, and external guests should be told a bot is recording and summarizing the meeting, so set a clear policy for outside calls.
