Otter.ai introduced a new feature on Monday that allows users to search across multiple enterprise collaboration platforms without needing to log in to each one separately. The update targets businesses that rely on tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace. Users can now query meeting transcripts, documents and chats from a single search window.
The company also released a Windows desktop application that records meeting notes automatically without requiring the user to join the session. The app captures audio from scheduled calls and generates summaries based on who spoke and what was discussed. Otter said the recordings start only when a meeting is detected and stop when the call ends.
Both features are part of Otter’s push to reduce friction for teams that juggle several communication tools. The search function covers content from the last 30 days unless an enterprise plan extends retention. The Windows app is available now in beta for existing customers.
Early testers said the unified search saves time by eliminating the need to switch between apps. One user at a logistics firm reported cutting search time by about 40 percent after adopting the feature. Otter plans to add more platforms to the search index later this year.
The company did not disclose pricing for the new capabilities but said they would be included in upcoming enterprise tiers.
