Otter.ai rolls out a new AI-generated meeting summary feature and more collaboration tools

AI-powered voice transcription service Otter.ai is releasing a set of new meeting-focused features to boost collaboration, the company announced on Tuesday. Most notably, the company is adding a new “Automatic Outline” feature that uses Otter’s proprietary AI to automatically create a meeting summary. The new feature aims to give you an idea of what your colleagues said during a meeting without having to listen to a recording or read an entire transcript. The new meeting summaries will be displayed in the “Outline” panel on the platform.

Otter.ai is also introducing a new “Meeting Gems” panel to capture action items, decisions and key moments from meetings. You can use the panel to assign items, add comments or ask questions. Users are able to generate a Meeting Gem directly from their meeting by highlighting snippets within the notes. Read More
