AI meeting notetaker
Otter.ai joins your Zoom, Meet, or Teams calls and turns the conversation into a searchable transcript with a summary and action items. If you want every meeting captured automatically, that's exactly its job.
Buddy AI Note takes a more private path. Nothing joins your calls. You record or speak a voice memo yourself, and Buddy gives you the transcript, an AI summary, and action items — which you can share by link. The record stays yours, and it lives next to your notes, tasks, and calendar.
