Not just what they do, but how they do it

Otter captures meetings using a bot, desktop app, or browser extension, but all recordings are processed and stored in the cloud. Radiant runs locally on your Mac, documenting conversations privately and suggesting next steps you can act on right away. Hereâs how their core features compare.

Meeting capture

Otter typically joins calls as a bot to record and transcribe meetings in the cloud. It also offers a Mac desktop app and Chrome extension that let you capture without a bot, though the data is still processed and stored online.

Radiant runs locally on your Mac and captures conversations automatically whenever audio is live. It documents meetings without bots, cloud processing, or video files.

Transcription and notes

Otter generates transcripts and AI summaries in its cloud dashboard. They can be edited or exported, but remain tied to the web platform.

Radiant produces transcripts and summaries locally in the Mac app, where theyâre editable and paired with suggestions that help you move work forward.

Follow-ups

Otter lists action items in notes, but you need to move them into Slack or your task manager yourself.

Radiant suggests follow-ups in the app, drafts them with you, and opens them in Gmail, Slack, Linear, and other tools for fast completion.

What sets Radiant apart

Otter is a great transcription tool. Radiant captures the same information but helps you use it. From summaries to suggested next steps, Radiant is designed to keep work moving forward.
