Fireflies
An app that records, transcribes and sums up your meetings.
What Fireflies does
Fireflies.ai is an AI note taker for meetings. Its bot joins your Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls from your calendar, and the phone app records in-person conversations or audio files you upload. Every meeting gets a transcript and a summary with action items. There is a free plan.
Fireflies is built for people whose week is full of calls. Connect your calendar and its note taker joins your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams meetings, records them, and writes up a transcript with an overview, detailed notes and action items. A Chrome extension gives you another way to capture meetings.
The iPhone and Android apps cover the rest. Tap to record an in-person meeting, upload an audio or video file, and get the same summary and searchable transcript. If you record people in the room, tell them first and check the consent rules where you live. An AI assistant called AskFred answers questions about what was said, and Fireflies connects with lots of tools like CRMs and project apps, even on the free plan.
The free plan is for trying it out. You get a limited number of transcription credits to start, 400 minutes of storage, and 20 AI credits a month, and once storage fills up you have to delete old meetings. Downloads and video recording need a paid plan. Pro is $18 a month, or $10 a month if you pay yearly.
