Laxis

Three ways to capture

Record from the desktop with no bot in the meeting, invite an assistant bot through calendar events, or upload existing audio and video. It covers Zoom, Google Meet and Teams.

Summaries built on your notes

Laxis combines the notes you type during a meeting with the transcript, so the summary, action items and topics reflect what you marked as important.

AI Chat and search

Search across every recorded conversation on any plan. AI Chat, which answers questions from past meetings, starts on Premium.

AI Writer and templates

From Premium, turns a transcript into a finished document such as a follow-up email or a MEDDIC sales report, using more than 40 templates.

Voice Keyboard

Dictates into any app and removes filler words and repetition. It is included on every plan and uses the same pool of monthly minutes as meetings.

CRM and app sync

The Business plan pushes notes and action items into HubSpot and Salesforce and connects to 7,000+ apps through Zapier.

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.
