Does Cueora join meetings like OtterPilot does?

No. Nothing joins. Cueora listens to your own device's audio, so Cueora never appears in the attendee list. You stay responsible for telling people you are taking notes where local law requires it.

Can Cueora attend a meeting I am not in?

No. Cueora is a live notes app for meetings you are in. If you need a bot to cover meetings you skip, a bot-based tool is the right pick.

Does Cueora give me a transcript?

Yes. Every AI-written bullet links back to the exact line of transcript it came from, and you can chat across one note or a year of meetings with citations.

No bot ever joins your call

Cueora vs Otter.ai

Otter.ai sends its OtterPilot bot into Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls from your calendar. The bot records, shows a live transcript, and produces a summary with action items when the call ends. Recordings stay in your Otter workspace.

Cueora is a calm, bot-free AI meeting notes app. You type a two-word cue and it becomes sourced, structured notes within seconds, while the meeting is still on.
