Conversation: How Otter.ai’s CEO is pushing the company to be more than just a meeting scribe Crunch

A: Yo, Takashi! Guess what? Otter.ai's CEO is shaking things up!

B: Really? What's new?

A: They want to move beyond just being a meeting note-taker! They released a new product suite for enterprises to help them get more out of recorded meetings.

B: Wow, sounds interesting! So, they're trying to become a corporate meeting knowledge base, huh?

A: Exactly! They want to connect data from meetings to workflows and even build custom integrations with platforms like Jira and HubSpot.

B: That could be really useful for businesses! But what about privacy concerns?

A: Yeah, they mentioned that too. Users can choose to restrict note access for sensitive information, and there are controls in place. However, it's a concern that even if a meeting is about a neutral topic, Otter might pick up small talk or chatter before and after meetings.

B: I see. And what about that lawsuit thing?

A: Oh, right! They're facing a class-action lawsuit in August over recording private conversations without user consent. But the CEO said it's not an issue specific to Otter and more access to information is better than none.

B: Seems like a big move for them, either way. Let's see how this turns out!
