Meeting bot (notetaker bot)
A meeting bot, or notetaker bot, is an automated participant an AI notetaker sends into a video call to record and transcribe it. It appears in the participant list — often as "Otter.ai" or "Fireflies Notetaker" — which signals to everyone that software is recording the meeting.
In depth
A meeting bot, or notetaker bot, is an automated participant that joins your call to record and transcribe it — the extra attendee named something like “Otter.ai Notetaker” in the participant list. Meeting bots are easy to deploy but visible and sometimes intrusive: they change how people speak, and many organizations block them. The bot-free alternative records the call's audio on your own device instead, so nothing joins the meeting. Reline takes the bot-free approach and never sends a participant into your call.
