Common questions

How is MagicScreen different from Otter.ai?

MagicScreen is a live AI co-pilot that provides invisible, real-time guidance during your calls to help you perform better. Otter.ai is primarily a transcription and summarization tool that records your meetings and joins as a bot. MagicScreen helps you say the right thing, while Otter captures what was said.

Can MagicScreen replace Otter.ai for my team?

It depends on your primary need. If you require live coaching, dynamic scripts, and real-time insights to improve performance during calls, MagicScreen is the solution. If your main goal is to transcribe, record, and summarize meetings for documentation, Otter.ai is more suitable. Many teams use both for different purposes.

Does MagicScreen record my meetings like Otter.ai?

No, MagicScreen operates as an invisible overlay on your Mac and does not record, transcribe, or store any meeting data. It processes information locally to provide real-time guidance without compromising privacy, unlike Otter.ai which records and transcribes meetings.

Will MagicScreen appear as a bot in my meetings, similar to OtterPilot?

Absolutely not. MagicScreen is designed to be completely invisible to other meeting participants. It runs as a local application on your Mac, ensuring no bot joins your calls or appears on screen shares, maintaining a natural conversation flow.

I use Otter.ai for meeting notes. How can MagicScreen help me beyond that?

While Otter.ai excels at capturing meeting notes, MagicScreen enhances your live performance. It provides real-time objection handlers, battle cards, and answers based on configurable triggers, helping you navigate conversations effectively and close deals, which goes beyond simple note-taking.
