■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Otter has launched a new search feature enabling users to query across their enterprise tools from a single interface. The company also released a Windows app that captures meeting notes without requiring users to attend.

Otter's unified search capability streamlines workflows by consolidating queries across multiple enterprise applications, reducing the need to navigate between platforms. The feature addresses a common friction point for teams managing information across dispersed systems. The Windows app expansion extends Otter's reach beyond meeting attendees. Users can now record and transcribe sessions without joining calls directly, useful for asynchronous teams or capturing external meetings. Otter continues building out its productivity suite to compete in the meeting intelligence and note-taking space alongside rivals like Microsoft Teams and specialized transcription services. The Windows release follows Otter's existing mobile and web applications. Both updates target enterprises looking to centralize meeting data and reduce manual note-taking overhead.
