Otter is an 🏷️#ai-powered assistant that generates notes for meetings, interviews, lectures, and other important voice conversations, automatically.
Founded in 2016 by Sam Liang and Yun Fu and based in Mountain View, California, Otter transcribes speech in real time and produces searchable, shareable meeting notes without manual note-taking. Its OtterPilot feature can auto-join Zoom, 📝Microsoft Teams, and 📝Google Meet calls as a silent participant, then record, transcribe, and summarize the conversation automatically, surfacing action items and key points after the fact.
Otter is priced across four tiers: a free Basic plan capped at 300 transcription minutes per month, a Pro plan (roughly $8–17/month) with a 1,200-minute cap and features like custom vocabulary and bulk export, a Business plan (roughly $20–30/user/month) aimed at teams, and custom-priced Enterprise. It competes in the AI meeting-assistant category built around the same auto-join-and-summarize pattern, and has become common infrastructure for remote and hybrid teams that need a written record of calls without dedicating a person to taking notes.
