Our AI notes bot joins external meetings

Otter, Read.ai, Fireflies and friends join calls automatically. For customers and partners that is quickly unwanted without prior agreement.

Try this first

  1. 1Default for external meetings: bot off. People can take notes themselves or use the Teams/Zoom transcript after the call.
  2. 2Want it on anyway: name it explicitly in the invite ('Otter is taking notes, let me know if you would rather not') and remove it on objection.
  3. 3In your policy, decide who has these bots auto-joining their calendar. One person with 'join all meetings' enabled is a broad leak.
  4. 4Check whether the bot enters before the meeting or only after admit. Auto-entry without admit is a red flag for security-aware customers.
  5. 5Delete transcripts of customer calls after a short retention (see also retention for customer calls).

When to bring us in
