IBIOS vs Otter AI: call reports for trades vs an AI meeting note taker
Otter AI is an AI meeting note taker that records, transcribes and summarises online meetings. IBIOS Meetings AI does a different job today: it writes call reports and call briefings from the phone call recordings your provider already makes, and keeps them with your customers, quotes and jobs.
If you mainly need notes from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet meetings, Otter is designed for that. If your customer conversations happen on the phone and you want the report next to the job, IBIOS may suit you better. An IBIOS meeting note taker that joins online meetings is coming soon.

Is IBIOS a good Otter AI alternative for UK trade businesses?
Your important conversations are phone calls with customers and suppliers, you already record them through your phone provider, and you want a written report next to the customer record, quote and job, in the same system that runs the rest of the business.
Your conversations mostly happen in online meetings and you want an AI note taker that joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet today and gives you transcripts and summaries afterwards.
