How they stack up

Otter wins most of this matrix — sales coaching, talk time, keyword tracking, engagement analytics, and summary templates on every plan. Google wins the artifact and the policy around it: 1080p recording filed in Drive, and admin-chosen US or EU storage.

Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Otter is wider: chat over your meetings, objection and competitor tracking, coaching scores. Google answers live in the call and files a sectioned notes Doc, but covers eight languages one at a time with section controls in Beta outside English.

Google Meet AIOtter.ai
Google Meet AIGoogle Meet AI

Gemini takes notes in the meeting and files them as a Google Doc with a Summary, Decisions and Next steps section, plus timestamped citations back into the transcript. Ask Gemini answers questions live during the call. It covers eight spoken languages, one per meeting, and the section controls are still Beta outside English.

Otter.aiOtter.ai

Otter's AI layer is broad: summaries, Topics Timeline, an in-meeting Copilot and Otter Chat over the transcript, sales coaching with objection and competitor detection, plus sentiment and engagement analytics on higher tiers. AI Chat is metered — 20 to 200 queries per user each month depending on plan.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.

Beyond the Integration List

API Access
If your team uses custom tools or internal dashboards, the API lets you pull meeting data — transcripts, summaries, action items — exactly where you need it.
MCP Support
A newer standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read your meeting data directly. No developer needed.
Google Meet AIGoogle Meet AI
Native to Workspace
Meeting output lands where Workspace already lives: notes and transcripts as Google Docs in Drive, delivered by Gmail and attached to the Calendar event. Reaching anything outside Google means the read-only Meet API or a Workspace Studio flow you assemble — Slack and Jira steps are still Beta.
Otter.aiOtter.ai
Native Catalog
Otter ships a large native-integration catalog — CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot, cloud storage such as Google Drive and SharePoint, and project tools like Jira and Asana. MCP is on every plan and Zapier from Pro; the REST API and webhooks are reserved for Enterprise.
MeetGeek
Automation
Uses a REST API with webhooks — data flows into your tools the moment a call ends. MCP Server connects meeting data directly to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Better suited for real-time automation and broader AI workflow integration.Explore MeetGeek

Decision Checklist

A quick gut-check before you commit

Google Meet AIChoose Google Meet AI if…
The video of the call has to exist afterwards, not just a transcript. Google records Meet calls to Drive in 1080p and keeps the MP4 there to download.
You have to be able to say where meeting data is stored. A Google admin picks the United States or the European Union, with Meet recordings and transcripts covered; data regions do not apply to logs or cached content.
Your meetings switch languages between teams and you would rather not set that each time. Google detects the spoken language once per meeting and asks you to confirm.
Otter.aiChoose Otter.ai if…
You coach a sales team from recorded calls and need objections, competitor mentions and coachability tracked. Otter reports all three on Enterprise.
You want to measure the conversation. Otter reports talk time on every plan and engagement analytics from Enterprise; Google reports on call quality and attendance, not what was said.
People need to capture something happening in a browser tab that is not a Meet call. Otter's extension records browser audio and exports it as an MP3.
Compare with MeetGeek

One More Comparison Before You Decide

Otter reads the conversation but meters the AI Chat that reads it; Google keeps and governs the recording but only inside Meet. MeetGeek does both — capture across Zoom, Teams and Meet plus the desktop and browser, 100+ transcription languages, EU or US data residency on every plan, and Meeting Skills running on every matching meeting from Pro with no credit budget. Compare it at meetgeek-vs-gemini and meetgeek-vs-otter.
