The Recording Bot Problem

Sound familiar?

""Otter.ai Notetaker has joined the meeting""

Everyone goes quiet. The natural flow is ruined.

""Can we turn off the recording bot?""

Sensitive topics get avoided or rescheduled.

""I don't consent to being recorded""

You scramble to turn it off. Notes are lost.
