“Otter can now capture meeting notes without joining meetings via Windows app”
Key takeaways
- Otter expanding from meeting transcription to cross-platform enterprise search
- Windows app enables passive meeting capture without bot joining - potential privacy/adoption shift
- Positioning suggests competition with knowledge management platforms, not just Gong/Chorus
Why this matters for operators: Enterprise knowledge management strategy, meeting intelligence infrastructure

Human-in-the-Loop vs. Human-on-the-Loop: When To Use Each System
- HITL (human-in-the-loop) requires human approval before AI executes critical actions - synchronous control pattern used for high-stakes decisions, compliance requirements, and low-confidence scenarios
- HOTL (human-on-the-loop) allows AI to execute autonomously while humans review results and adjust parameters - asynchronous pattern for scalable operations with exception-based oversight
- Framework applies across use cases: loan approvals, customer emails, social posts, fraud detection, and compliance workflows - choice depends on risk tolerance, regulatory requirements, and operational scale needs
