The problem with AI meeting bots
Bot appears in participant list
Attendees see "Notetaker" or "Otter.ai" in the meeting. Some feel uncomfortable or refuse to speak freely.
Recording uploaded to US servers
Meeting bots send audio to their cloud infrastructure — often in the US. GDPR third-country transfer without adequate safeguards.
Per-minute costs that scale
Most meeting bot services charge per minute or have monthly caps — costs grow with your meeting volume.
Scrieb: no bot, no upload, no surprises
