AI

AI that does the typing, not the deciding

Otter uses AI for the busywork — reading resumes and answering questions about your pipeline. Decisions about people stay with your team.

Resume parsing

Contact details, current role, location, experience and skills extracted into the candidate profile.

OCR for scans

Scanned PDFs (first two pages) and photos of resumes are transcribed so they can be parsed too.

An assistant

Ask about jobs and candidates in plain language. It uses read-only tools, and chats are audit-logged.

Parsing that never blocks an application

Resumes are parsed with an AI model while your workspace is under its daily AI limit, and with Otter's rule-based parser after that — so every application is still added, even on the busiest day.

  • PDF, Word and image resumes
  • Daily AI limit per workspace
  • Rule-based fallback, always on

Ask your pipeline a question

“Who's waiting on a scorecard?” “Which candidates are in Interview for the backend role?” The assistant looks things up with read-only tools — workspace stats, jobs, candidates and applications — and every chat is recorded in the audit log.

Clear about what it does

Otter doesn't rank, score or reject candidates automatically. AI features are processed by our AI provider, listed in our Privacy policy, and only the text or images needed for the task are sent.

AI assistant docs
Does Otter's AI decide who gets hired?

No. AI is used to read resumes and answer questions. Otter doesn't automatically rank, score or reject candidates — your team makes those calls.

What happens when the daily AI limit is reached?

Resumes are still added and parsed with Otter's rule-based parser. AI parsing resumes the next day.

Which AI provider do you use?

Our sub-processors, including the AI provider, are listed in the Privacy policy.

Can the assistant change data?

No. It uses read-only tools, and each chat is written to the workspace's audit log.
