Otter-ai Launches OtterPilot Smart AI Meeting Assistant to Automate Note-taking and Meeting Summaries

February 15 2023, 00:35
Audio to text transcription engines powered by artificial intelligence are increasingly being integrated in meeting and collaboration solutions, leading to extraordinary possibilities in automation. A leader and pioneer in that space, Otter-ai is now launching OtterPilot, a smart AI meeting assistant that automates meetings from start to finish to help professionals and teams save time and increase meeting productivity.
 

As the company celebrates more than a billion meeting transcriptions, Otter-ai has consolidated its position as a leading tool for meeting transcription, summarization, and collaboration. Using artificial intelligence, Otter generates real-time automated meeting notes, summaries, and other insights from in-person and online meetings - generating actionable data that can be shared across teams and organizations.

In Otter’s recent report on the cost of unnecessary meetings, it became clear that professionals and organizations are experiencing an overload of meetings, costing employers millions of dollars and zapping employee morale and productivity. The company's new meeting assistant OtterPilot uses AI to automate the entire meeting process with automated live notes (auto-join and auto-share), automated slide capture, and automated summaries.

Leveraging the power of an AI assistant to transcribe and summarize meeting takeaways automatically, means that not everyone needs to attend every meeting, and those that do can engage without distractions of note-taking. OtterPilot eliminates the need to take manual notes during the meeting and sends out a meeting summary that includes images of the meeting slides.
 

"AI is helping us in every aspect of our life. Every day when I drive to work, I am helped and inspired by advancements in Tesla’s Autopilot system," says Sam Liang, co-founder and CEO of Otter-ai. "Similarly, we’ve seen the huge improvements in Otter’s AI capabilities, and now our OtterPilot promises to eliminate note-taking, save time, and improve meeting productivity for our user’s next billion meetings."

Otter leverages its proprietary AI to write meeting notes in real time and share them with everyone so they can collaborate. When connected to a user’s Microsoft or Google calendar, Otter can automatically join virtual meetings. Meeting attendees can view the live transcript, add comments, highlight key points, and even assign action items during the meeting. All of these takeaways are stored alongside the meeting notes for easy recall. Otter can automatically share the Otter notes with those invited to the meeting and/or to a specific group.

And with OtterPilot, users can automatically capture images of slides shared during virtual meetings. Whenever a slide presentation or visual is shared in a virtual meeting, Otter automatically captures it and inserts it into the meeting notes. 

Finally, Otter’s automated meeting summary - an AI-generated summarization of the key meeting topics can also be sent to those invited to the meeting and/or directly to an Otter group. Automated summaries are shared via email, with hyperlinks to key moments and slide captures of the meeting.

Otter-ai is now rolling out OtterPilot and the latest features to users on all subscription plans.
