Editorial Verdict
AI-researched, not hands-on testedFireflies.ai is an AI meeting assistant that joins calls on Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, transcribes them, and produces summaries, action items and searchable notes. It fits teams that want every meeting captured and pushed into CRMs and other tools. A limitation is that the Free plan caps storage at 400 mins per team and gives only limited AI summaries, and the page ties heavier features to paid seats. If you want local or self-hosted note-taking, look at open-source options such as Meetily.
