Otter's Collaboration Tool Update: Automatic Meeting Summaries and More
Missing an important meeting no longer has to cause panic. Otter is enhancing its collaboration tool with a new beta feature called "Automatic Outline," powered by AI. This feature automatically generates a summary of your meetings, allowing you to grasp the key points without needing to listen to the entire conversation or read a full transcript.
In addition, Otter is launching a "Meeting Gems" panel that simplifies decision-making by creating to-do entries and highlighting critical moments from the discussion. Users can easily mark action items as completed and share notes seamlessly.
While other updates may seem subtle, they are still valuable improvements. The Otter Assistant now allows you to quickly add slides and presentation images to your notes, and you can join meetings directly from your calendar panel. The updated home feed prioritizes important meetings, making it easier for newcomers to navigate the platform.
These AI-generated summaries may encourage you to skip less essential meetings, but they have the potential to be incredibly useful in today’s hybrid and remote work environments. As virtual meetings become increasingly common, Otter’s new AI capabilities can help you focus more on your tasks and less on catching up with colleagues.
