Fireflies, from Fireflies.AI headquartered in Pleasanton, California, aims to make it easy to record, transcribe, and organize all teams' meetings in one place. Whether it’s important sales calls, recruiting interviews, or team meetings, Fireflies can provide capture of voice conversations.
I always ask if the other attendees are ok with my using the app. If they were not comfortable, I would turn it off. This is likely over-cautious, but I also am hesitant to use it in extremely sensitive and confidential conversations. I use it as often as possible and am heavily reliant on it for any status meetings where there might be action items for any attendee, etc
It does the job really well. They were one of the first on the scene and have continually improved overtime. It's crazy affordable, I'm always surprised when I see the $5 monthly charge compared to other apps I pay more for and use a lot less.
I would like more information about how to make the most of the app as a small business. Maybe new functionalities could be pointed out, or suggestions can be made if I'm not using functions that could help my workflow.
It is a very convenient tool. Fireflies join calls automatically; you shouldn't think about it each time. It has a good integration with Slack and also sends notifications automatically. It makes good and accurate summary bullets. Also, you can check all the conversation transcription after the meeting and search specific speaker or keywords.
otter is audio only, and doesn't monitor things like talk time. Both systems have great (relatively new) AI features. Fathom's is a little more functional (templates for notes that can be swapped out after the meeting. Otter's is a little more useful with the AI chat feature and the summaries are a bit stronger
Fireflies.ai is made for meetings — that’s its main function — so it doesn’t include fancy features like video editing. If you need to record a podcast, it’s better to use Descript. Google Cloud is a good choice if you already have an audio file and need a very detailed transcription. Fireflies not only helps with transcription, but also with summarization and distribution. So while all three tools offer similar features, if you need a meeting copilot, Fireflies performs better.
It was free until recently, so this is n/a. I do have a paid subscription now that they released new AI features, but those are too new to review.
The time I don't have to spend reviewing or rewriting my notes can be multiplied by my hourly rate, and would be a significant number if looked at on a monthly basis, but if you also consider the energy I get back and ability to be more present in meetings, that is priceless.
