Lumen Trust Notes

Notion AI

Notion AI processes data on Notion's cloud infrastructure via third-party model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic); there is no self-hosted or local option. Its add-on pricing model is reasonable and its deep integration with existing workflows provides genuine productivity value without dark patterns. Ideal for teams already on Notion, but review Notion's sub-processor data agreements before storing sensitive client information.

Otter.ai

Meeting audio and transcripts are processed and stored on Otter.ai cloud servers; no on-premise option exists for standard plans, which is a key consideration for legally sensitive discussions. The generous free tier and accessible pricing reflect genuine parity, and the core use case — reducing note-taking burden — is straightforward and valuable. Recommended for team meetings and interviews, but avoid using it for legally privileged or regulated conversations without reviewing Otter's data processing agreement.
