I used AI for meeting notes you'll actually search and here's what stuck
A practical, opinionated way to use Otter for meeting notes you'll actually search, with the step I always forget.
This isn't a tutorial. It's what I do, and the one mistake I keep making.
The task: meeting notes you'll actually search. Otter helps here because transcribes meetings and pulls the action items.
Step two is the boring one people skip: clean the input before the tool touches it. Garbage in is still garbage out.
Step three, give it one job, not five. The moment you pile on asks, the output splits its attention and you get a polite nothing.
What I do differently is to set a limit. A timer on the task keeps the tool from becoming a thirty-minute rabbit hole.
The catch is that it's only as good as the example you feed it. A weak example gives a weak result, and that's on you.
I use it now without thinking, which is the highest praise I give a tool.
