Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is AI at extracting action items?

Very accurate for well structured meetings. The AI identifies phrases like "I will," "let us," and "by Friday" to extract tasks. For best results, speak clearly about commitments during your meetings.

Does this work with Zoom and Google Meet?

Yes. Otter.ai integrates directly with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. The transcript is generated automatically at the end of every meeting.

Can I review tasks before they are assigned?

Yes. You can add an approval step where the task list is sent to you for review before it creates anything in your project management tool.
