Jamie

Bot-free capture on your device

Jamie records on your Mac or Windows computer instead of sending a bot into the call, so it works with any online meeting platform. The phone app records in-person meetings.

Notes, transcripts and tasks

Each meeting produces AI notes, a transcript and detected tasks. Speaker recognition remembers voices, and transcription covers 99+ languages on every plan.

Ask Jamie

A chat assistant that answers questions about your meetings. It is included on every plan, including Free, and is also available in the mobile app.

Custom templates and vocabulary

Templates set the structure of your notes: 1 on Free, 3 on Plus and unlimited from Pro. Custom vocabulary lists hold 50 terms, or 100 on Team.

EU hosting and audio deletion

Jamie says data stays in the EU, audio is deleted after transcription and customer content is never used to train models. It lists ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance.

Integrations, API and MCP

Notes can be sent to Notion, Google Docs and OneNote. Pro and Team add Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio and Asana, plus API, webhooks and MCP access for Claude and ChatGPT.

Otter.ai

Meeting agent or bot-free recording

The notetaker can auto-join Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet meetings from your calendar. The desktop app for Mac and Windows records without a bot joining the call.

Live transcription with speaker ID

Transcribes as people speak, labels speakers and syncs the text to audio playback. Custom vocabulary covers 5 terms on Basic and up to 800 names and 800 terms on Business.

Automated summaries

Each conversation gets an automated summary on every plan, so the main points are available without reading the full transcript.

AI Chat

Ask questions about your conversations in a chat. Monthly queries are capped per user: 20 on Basic, 50 on Pro and 200 on Business and Enterprise.

File imports and exports

Import audio or video files for transcription and export notes. Basic allows 3 imports in total and mp3 or txt export; paid plans add pdf, docx and srt.

Integrations and MCP server

Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier integrations start on Pro. An MCP server is listed on every plan, while the Otter API and webhooks are Enterprise only.
