Fireflies.ai is an AI notetaker that records and transcribes Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings in 100+ languages, generating AI summaries and action items, aimed at individuals and teams that want a searchable archive of meeting transcripts alongside live assistance during calls. It runs on a freemium model with a free-forever plan offering unlimited transcription and 400 minutes of storage per team, and the paid Pro plan starts at $10 per seat per month billed annually.
Who builds it
Fireflies.ai is developed by Fireflies.ai, the company behind fireflies.ai. The product is built around being a searchable "memory" for meetings — recording, transcribing and indexing calls so teams can search across their full meeting history rather than relying on manual notes.
Core features
- Meeting recording and transcription across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and 10+ other platforms, supporting 100+ languages.
- Unlimited AI summaries and an action-item and task manager built from meeting content.
- Real-time notes and live transcription, including a Live Assist feature and a desktop app for real-time use during calls.
- CRM and workspace integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion and Slack.
- API access for building custom integrations on top of meeting data.
Who it is for
Fireflies.ai fits individuals and teams who want an always-on, searchable transcript archive across their meetings, not just isolated summaries per call. The free-forever plan's unlimited transcription with a 400-minute team storage cap is enough to evaluate the workflow, while the $10/seat/month Pro plan raises storage and adds deeper AI summary and integration features for regular use.
Data and privacy
Fireflies.ai states it applies a 0-day data retention policy with all vendors and partners, meaning meeting data is never used for AI model training and can be deleted at any time, and it holds SOC 2 Type II compliance. That combination is a relevant, concrete privacy commitment for teams weighing whether call content becomes training data. Fireflies.ai does not publish a specific EU-hosting guarantee in the facts available here, so DACH teams with strict DSGVO data-residency requirements should confirm hosting region and a data processing agreement directly with Fireflies.ai before rollout.
Bottom line
Fireflies.ai is best understood as a searchable meeting-memory tool with real-time assistance layered on top, most valuable to teams that want a growing, unified transcript archive with strong integrations and a genuinely usable free tier, backed by a concrete 0-day retention and no-training privacy stance.
