Fireflies

Fireflies.ai envisions a future where every conversation is a catalyst for action, transforming spoken words into actionable insights through the power of AI. We exist to revolutionize the way organizations capture, understand, and leverage their meeting data to drive smarter decision-making and streamlined collaboration across distributed teams worldwide.

Our commitment lies in harnessing advanced voice AI and intelligent automation to build tools that transcend traditional note-taking, enabling seamless transcription, insightful summarization, and dynamic interaction with meeting content in real time. By integrating with diverse platforms and embedding deep conversational intelligence, we empower businesses to unlock the full potential of their spoken knowledge.

As a global, remote-first pioneer, Fireflies.ai is dedicated to shaping a more connected and efficient future of work where conversations fuel continuous progress, innovation, and growth at scale. We are building technology that ensures no insight is ever lost and every meeting moves teams forward with clarity and purpose.

We've been watching Fireflies.ai evolve since 2016, and frankly, we're impressed by how they've turned the mundane task of meeting notes into something genuinely useful. Their AI assistant "Fred" automatically joins your video calls, transcribes everything with 95% accuracy across 100+ languages, and transforms rambling discussions into actionable insights.

What started as a simple transcription tool has grown into a comprehensive meeting intelligence platform that's now used by 75% of Fortune 500 companies. That's not just impressive—it's validation that they've solved a real problem.

The Feature That Caught Our Attention

The standout feature is their new "Talk to Fireflies" capability, launched in partnership with Perplexity. You can literally ask questions during live meetings—like "What's our competitor's pricing strategy?"—and get real-time answers from both your meeting history and the web. It's the kind of sci-fi functionality that actually works in practice.

We also love how searchable their transcripts are. You can jump to any part of a recording by searching for specific keywords or phrases, which beats scrolling through hours of audio any day.

Built for Scale, Priced for Reality

With integrations spanning 60+ business tools (CRM systems, project management platforms, you name it), Fireflies plays nice with whatever tech stack you're already using. The fact that they've maintained profitability since 2023 while serving 20 million users tells us they've figured out sustainable unit economics—no small feat in the AI space.

Their remote-first approach across 20+ countries also means they understand distributed teams, which shows in how well their product handles different accents, languages, and meeting styles.

Who Should Pay Attention

This isn't just for enterprises drowning in meetings. We see value for consultants who need to track client conversations, educators recording lectures, and even podcasters who want automated show notes. The sentiment analysis and speaker analytics features are particularly useful for sales teams trying to understand prospect engagement.

At a $1 billion valuation achieved without raising new primary capital since 2021, Fireflies has clearly struck a nerve. They've taken something everyone does—sit through meetings—and made it exponentially more productive.
