Otter's new AI agents are built to boost sales and streamline meetings
Briefly

Otter has launched a new AI agent designed to assist during meetings by answering questions, scheduling follow-ups, and assigning action items in real time. The AI leverages publicly available information and prior meeting records while ensuring data privacy by limiting answers to what participants are authorized to see. This assistant can integrate with various information sources and is expected to evolve. Currently activated with a phrase similar to voice assistants, it will soon enable proactive engagement, enhancing user experience across platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet.
"It's some simple tasks, but pretty soon, it can do more and more complicated tasks," Otter CEO Sam Liang says.
The AI will only provide answers based on meeting records that all current participants have permission to view, ensuring confidential information remains protected.
Currently, the AI agent must be activated with a phrase like 'Hey Otter,' similar to Alexa or Siri.
The agent is being rolled out to all Otter users and is currently compatible with Zoom, with support for Microsoft Teams and Google Meet expected in the coming weeks.
