What is Otter.ai?

Otter.ai is an AI notetaker and Conversational Knowledge Engine that captures meetings with live transcription in multiple languages and speaker recognition, then turns every meeting into a clear summary with decisions, action items, and insights. It works across iOS, Android, Web, and a desktop app for Mac and Windows.

How does Otter handle meeting transcription and summaries?

Otter provides live transcription in multiple languages with speaker name identification, learns your custom vocabulary, and lets you import pre-recorded audio/video files. It generates automated AI meeting summaries with decisions, action items, and insights, plus summary keywords and word clouds. You can also ask Otter AI Chat questions across your meetings and connected apps to create follow-ups, reports, and content.

Which video conferencing tools does Otter integrate with?

Otter Assistant works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, providing real-time transcriptions, key takeaways, and action items. It offers live captions for Zoom and Google Meet, syncs from Zoom and Dropbox, and connects to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and iOS Calendar to automatically schedule the AI Meeting Notetaker for upcoming meetings. A desktop app for Mac and Windows also enables bot-free recording directly from your computer.

What integrations does Otter offer beyond meetings?

Otter has 36+ native integrations including CRMs and sales tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Zoho, Monday.com, Outreach, Salesloft), productivity and storage (Notion, Google Docs, Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, Egnyte, Amazon S3), project management (Asana, ClickUp, JIRA), communication (Slack, Dialpad, RingCentral, JustCall, Zoom Phone), data (Snowflake, Airtable), recruiting (Greenhouse), plus Zapier for connecting other apps.

Do I need a credit card to start the Free Trial?

Absolutely not! We hate sneaky "free trials" that ask for your card details. You can sign up and explore Writesonic with full access—no credit card required, no hidden catches.

How is Writesonic different from ChatGPT?

While ChatGPT is a powerful general-purpose AI assistant, Writesonic is your 24/7 AI Marketing Team, purpose-built to grow your brand through SEO, content creation, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).

What's the difference between monthly and annual billing?

Annual billing gives you a 20% discount compared to paying month-to-month. You pay for 12 months upfront and save big in the long run.

What is a "project" and why might I need more?

A project is tied to a single website domain. If you manage multiple domains (like different clients or business units), you'll need a separate project for each one to take advantage of domain-specific features like Site Audits and GEO Analytics.

Can I add more users to my plan?

Yes! Basic: Add up to 2 more for $50/month each. Growth: Add up to 5 more for $60/month each.
