Lumen Trust Notes
Google Gemini
Gemini runs fully in Google's cloud with no local or self-hosted option for the consumer and Workspace products, so data sovereignty is Low. Google offers a genuinely usable free tier and broad accessibility, supporting High parity, while the product's clear productivity mission inside Workspace earns High purpose. Closed models and limited training-data transparency keep Provenance Low. Strong for Google-centric workflows; treat sensitive data under your organisation's Google Workspace and AI data-processing settings.
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.
