Description

AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, summarizes and searches voice/video conversations.
Fireflies.ai is a conversation-intelligence platform designed to help teams capture, transcribe, summarize, and analyze their voice and video meetings across platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and more. The tool provides automatic meeting transcription, search across conversations, AI-generated summaries, topic tracking, actionable insights from discussions, and integrations with calendars, CRMs and other productivity tools. Its features help ensure meeting content is turned into searchable, shareable knowledge instead of being lost in chat history or forgotten after the call.

Key Applications

  • Record and transcribe live or uploaded meetings / audio/video files for review and search.
  • Generate AI-summaries, extract key topics, keywords and action items from meetings automatically.
  • Search across all meetings for keywords, speakers, or topics and find relevant moments quickly.
  • Integrate with other tools (CRMs, Slack, Zapier, Calendars) for streamlined workflows and follow-ups.

Who It’s For

Fireflies.ai is ideal for professionals, teams, and organizations that hold frequent meetings and want to make them more productive and actionable. This includes sales teams, support/operations, product/project teams, educators, and remote workforces. It addresses pain points like missed meeting details, difficulty finding past discussion items, manual note-taking burden, and lack of insights from voice conversations. Users benefit from automated transcripts, searchable archives, follow-up tracking, and integrations that turn meeting data into business intelligence.
