SHOTGUNShotgun vs Otter Meeting Agent
Otter is a great notetaker with massive distribution, and its Meeting Agent can answer questions out loud, drawing on your organization's meeting history. Shotgun is a different product: a sales-domain AI grounded in a curated, verified knowledge base — that is not allowed to say anything that isn't in it.
| Shotgun | Otter Meeting Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Answers grounded in | ✓ Curated, verified sales KB — nothing else | ~ Your past meetings — whatever was said in them |
| Wrong-answer control | ✓ Undocumented numbers physically blocked before speech | ✗ No equivalent control |
| Sales-call discipline | ✓ Never negotiates, defers to rep, knows when to stay silent | ✗ General meeting assistant |
| Provable record of AI claims | ✓ Signed ledger + verifiable receipt | ✗ Transcript only |
| Notetaking & meeting memory | ~ Call ledger & receipts, not a notetaker | ✓ Best-in-category distribution |
| Price | $597/seat/mo — priced on closed deals | ✓ Low per-seat, priced on notes |
Keep Otter for notes — many Shotgun customers run both. Bring Shotgun when the call is revenue: the question to ask any speaking AI is what happens when it answers a pricing question wrong. With Shotgun, every claim is source-bound and signed, and undocumented numbers are blocked before they reach its voice. A meeting assistant answering from meeting history has no equivalent control — it can confidently repeat last quarter's wrong number.
