AI Notetakers: Otter, Fireflies, Granola, Fathom, Read AI, Gumdrop

Six AI notetakers are quietly rewiring the meeting: Otter and Fireflies chase scale, Granola bets on augmenting your own notes without a bot in the room, Fathom wins on a generous free tier, Read AI reads the room's mood, and Gumdrop (from Kayak co-founder Paul English) prepares you before you ever say hello. Together they map an entire category racing from novelty to default.
