Otter ends at the note. Patricia starts the work.

Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads and Canva are reached through Patricia's own connector and her own app rather than a broker, so on the ad platforms she pulls a real report instead of a thin list of fields. There she reads, flags and proposes, and by default she makes a change only after a person approves it. Everything else in the catalog is connected the ordinary way, which is honest and still useful.

Yes, for agencies that want more than a transcript. Otter records and transcribes meetings. Patricia is an AI coworker in Slack whose notetaker is one capability: she records and recaps the client call, keeps the decisions, puts action items on your task list with owners, drafts the client update, then does the follow-up across 1,000+ tools with your approval. One price covers every seat; the 50,000 free credits come with your onboarding call.

The work. Otter's plans end at the transcript, the summary, and AI chat in the Otter workspace; integrations push notes to about a dozen tools, and its agent products are separate premium SKUs. Patricia turns the call into output: the client update drafted, the report pulled, the tasks assigned with owners, the follow-up ready. Every draft waits for your yes in Slack before it goes out, and by default so does every change or spend.

Yes. Decisions and standards go into one memory the agency shares, so the next recap, report or follow-up on that account starts from what was already agreed rather than from a blank page. That memory is one brain for the agency rather than a separate vault per client; what is per client is the channel, the connections, and access scoped per person.

Usually, and the gap grows with headcount. Otter is per seat: $8.33 per user per month on Pro annual, $19.99 on Business annual, up to $30 month to month. Five people on Business annual is about $100 a month. Patricia is $45 a month for the whole agency, 20,000 credits included, every seat free: $45 versus about $100 for five, and hiring never raises the bill.

The most common Otter complaints in reviews are the bot joining meetings uninvited and summaries auto-emailed to every attendee, sometimes people outside the company. With Patricia you choose which meetings she joins and who sees each recording. The recap lands in your client channel, and by default it is also emailed to everyone on the invite, the client included, with a note that an AI wrote it and an unsubscribe link. You can narrow that to your team, your company domain or just yourself, or switch it off. Every follow-up she drafts after the call waits for your approval first.

It does, and this page does not pretend otherwise. Otter connects to Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Notion, Google Docs, Asana, and Dropbox, offers MCP, and sells separate premium sales and recruiting agents, with deeper API access on Enterprise. The difference is direction: Otter's integrations move notes into tools for a human to act on. Patricia works in the tools herself, across 1,000+ of them, then asks for your yes.

When the live transcript is the product: real-time captions with speaker ID, transcription in English, French, Spanish, or Japanese, and a free tier with 300 monthly minutes for light use. Otter has a long transcription track record, tens of millions of users, and apps on every platform. Patricia is the better fit when you want the client call to end in finished work, every seat included, and an AI coworker beyond meetings.
