Lumen Trust Notes
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.
Claude
Claude is cloud-only with processing on Anthropic infrastructure; there is no self-hosted option, keeping privacy at Low. Anthropic's Constitutional AI framework and published safety research demonstrate a genuine ethical mission beyond commercial interest, earning a High Purpose score. A strong choice for teams needing thoughtful long-form analysis, but treat it like any managed cloud service with regard to sensitive data.
