# Otter AI

> Otter AI is a meeting assistant built for people who spend their days in calls and never have time to write up what was said. It joins or records a meeting, produces a live transcript, and then generates a clean summary with the key points and action items pulled out, so you leave a conversation with notes already written. What makes it approachable is that none of it requires technical skill. It works across the common videoconferencing platforms and can capture in-person conversations too, and the output is searchable text rather than an audio file you have to relisten to. Teams lean on it to keep a shared record of decisions and to make sure follow-ups do not slip through the cracks. It is worth being thoughtful about consent, since recording and transcribing others carries obvious etiquette and privacy considerations. But as a way to turn the endless churn of meetings into something you can actually reference later, it is one of the more genuinely useful everyday AI tools for non-engineers.
