Mountain View, CA – August 22, 2024 – Otter.ai, the leading AI meeting assistant, today announced the launch of My Action Items, a new feature designed to enhance productivity and streamline the modern workflow.
Knowledge workers spend an average of 18 hours a week in meetings (and even more for managers). This proliferation of meetings often leads to an overwhelming number of action items. Otter’s new feature My Action Items addresses this challenge by automatically identifying action items across all of a users’ meetings and providing a centralized place where users can access, manage, reassign, and even check-off tasks. Whether a meeting takes place virtually on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, or in-person, Otter will capture those action items - providing an automated and productive workflow across meetings and platforms.
"Our objective is to empower knowledge workers and teams to be more productive," said Sam Liang, CEO of Otter.ai. "My Action Items is a step forward in achieving this, introducing a more modern workflow that offers a clear and efficient way to manage post-meeting responsibilities."
My Action Items delivers a suite of features to simplify post-meeting management:
- Consolidated Action Items - Eliminates the need to search through past meetings, providing a single, centralized view of all assigned tasks.
- Context-Rich Tasks - Offers links back to the specific moment in the conversation where each action item was created, ensuring clarity and accuracy.
- Notifications - Delivers a weekly digest email reminding users of outstanding action items, fostering accountability and completion.
My Action Items reinforces Otter.ai’s commitment to leveraging AI to revolutionize the way people work. This latest innovation builds upon Otter’s foundation of intelligent meeting transcription and summarization, offering a comprehensive solution that streamlines workflows and enhances productivity.
My Action Items is available for all users - find the feature on the top right corner of your Otter Home Page.
