The AI Assistant That Attends Your Meetings So You Don't Have To

Knowledge workers spend an average of 18 hours per week in meetings. Much of that time involves routine status updates, recurring check-ins, and informational sessions where your physical presence adds minimal value. Otter.ai introduced a provocative concept called OtterPilot: an AI assistant that joins meetings autonomously when you can't attend, records everything, generates summaries, and answers questions about what happened. Connect Otter.ai to your calendar. The system monitors your scheduled meetings and automatically joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls when they start. OtterPilot records audio, generates real-time transcripts, identifies speakers, and creates AI summaries with action items. You receive a meeting briefing without attending the meeting yourself.

TikTok Breaks Ranks On Privacy: Why The Platform Won't Encrypt Your Messages

In a rare divergence from industry norms, TikTok has confirmed it will not adopt end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages, breaking with nearly every major social media platform and reigniting one of the tech industry's most contentious debates. The Chinese-owned video platform told the BBC exclusively that it believes the privacy technology championed by Meta, Apple, and others as essential for user protection actually makes users less safe by creating "dark spaces" where harmful content can flourish beyond the reach of safety teams and law enforcement. The decision puts TikTok in direct opposition to its competitors while potentially exposing the company to fresh criticism over data protection, particularly given ongoing concerns about its ties to Beijing.
