💡 Personal Tips
Otter.ai is one of those tools that you don't realize you needed until you try it. Having every meeting searchable and summarized saves hours per week. The OtterPilot feature that auto-joins calls is seamless. The free tier (300 min/month) is enough for most individual users. Pro tip: use the chat feature to ask questions about past meetings.
