Best fit
Who each tool is for
Notion AI
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants building a reusable knowledge base across clients and engagements.
Why pick it: Your consulting knowledge compounds here. Meeting notes, frameworks, templates, and client wikis are all connected, searchable, and enhanced by AI.
Watch for: Can become a rabbit hole of organization. If you need simple note-taking without databases and wikis, a plain doc tool is faster.
Otter
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants running 10+ client calls per week who need searchable notes.
Why pick it: Speaker identification and searchable history mean you can find "what did the CFO say about budget in the March call" in seconds, not hours.
Watch for: If you run fewer than 5 meetings per week, Fathom (free tier) covers basic notes without a subscription.
