Otter.ai SDR Agent

Overview

Otter.ai's SDR Agent is an autonomous agent that conducts live sales calls and product demos for website visitors without human intervention, providing instant information and generating leads anywhere, anytime. Built by Otter.ai, the company founded in 2016 by Sam Liang (former Google location services lead and Stanford PhD) and Yun Fu as AISense, the SDR Agent represents the next evolution of their meeting intelligence platform into autonomous sales automation. The SDR Agent automatically captures and qualifies inbound interest before involving human sales reps by launching instant voice or chat conversations with prospects directly through your website. The AI identifies a prospect's function, goals, and pain points through natural conversation, determines if they're sales-ready using custom qualification criteria, and delivers high-impact product walkthroughs tailored to each buyer's industry or use case. Key capabilities include autonomous lead qualification with customizable criteria, adaptive messaging that adjusts feature highlights based on prospect needs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that pulls the most relevant product content and FAQs from your knowledge base, accurate conversational responses based on your best prior sales calls, and direct CRM integration pushing insights into Salesforce or HubSpot. The agent integrates with Chili Piper or Calendly to schedule meetings directly on rep calendars when prospects are sales-ready. The platform operates 24/7, ensuring no lead goes unattended regardless of time zone or business hours. This is particularly valuable for global companies and high-traffic websites where human SDRs can't scale to handle all inbound interest. The AI conducts product demos, answers technical questions, handles objections, and moves prospects through qualification without requiring sales rep involvement for every inquiry. Otter.ai's SDR Agent is available through custom enterprise pricing, separate from their standard meeting transcription plans which range from Free to $19.99/user/month for Business tier. The SDR Agent represents a premium offering targeting companies with high inbound volumes who want to automate initial qualification and demo processes. What sets Otter.ai's SDR Agent apart is its foundation in Otter's proven meeting intelligence technology - the same AI that processes millions of sales conversations already understands how to conduct effective discovery, position products, and handle objections. The SDR Agent learns from your best sales calls, ensuring it represents your product accurately and effectively. The platform's conversational AI is sophisticated enough to handle complex B2B product discussions, not just simple FAQ-style interactions.
