About Otter.ai

Otter.ai is one of the most established AI meeting assistants, providing real-time transcription, automatic summaries, and action item extraction for virtual meetings. OtterPilot — its meeting bot — auto-joins scheduled meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams to capture and transcribe everything.

The platform distinguishes speakers, provides timestamped notes, and makes all meeting content searchable. In 2026, Otter also offers an MCP Server that lets ChatGPT and Claude access your meeting knowledge for deeper analysis.
