Turn meetings into notes, summaries, and action items instantly.
What is Otter AI?
Otter AI is developed by Otter.ai, a company founded in 2016 by Sam Liang, previously of Google Maps. The team specializes in leveraging artificial intelligence to transform spoken language into accessible, actionable text. The core of Otter’s technology is a proprietary, end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, continuously trained on diverse audio data to improve accuracy in real-time transcription and speaker identification. Its key features include live transcription, automated meeting summaries, action item extraction, and seamless integration with tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. This makes it particularly valuable for professionals such as students, journalists, and business teams who require accurate records of lectures, interviews, and meetings. By automatically generating and organizing searchable notes, Otter AI significantly reduces administrative overhead and enhances meeting accountability, directly integrating into and streamlining collaborative workflows. For teams considering similar tools, a comparison of capabilities can be found at https://ai-plaza.io/ai/fireflies. A 2021 analysis by Stanford’s HAI institute underscores the growing reliance on such AI-powered assistants to augment human productivity in knowledge work sectors.
