Otter Launches Enterprise Search Across Gmail, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, Salesforce

digital · 2026-04-28

Otter, the AI meeting notetaker founded nearly a decade ago, has launched an enterprise search feature that lets users query data from Gmail, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, and Salesforce alongside existing meeting data. The company is acting as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) client, connecting to outside apps via a standard rapidly adopted by AI tools. This follows similar moves by Read AI, Fireflies.ai, and Fathom. Otter will soon support Microsoft Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and Slack. Users can also push meeting summaries to Notion or draft Gmail messages. The AI assistant has been redesigned to be consistently present across the interface, understanding screen context like a specific meeting or channel. Otter brought botless meeting capture to Mac late last year and is now launching a Windows app with the same feature, following Granola's lead. CEO Sam Liang stated that enterprise customers prefer bots joining meetings for transparency and shared notes. A deduplication feature prevents multiple bots from joining simultaneously. Otter reported 35 million users, up from 25 million last year, and $100 million in annual recurring revenue.
