This Free AI Secretary Saves Me Hours of Work
Taking notes during a meeting or an interview is normal, but if we’re honest, it’s also a hassle. It’s easy to miss important details while writing down other important details, and trying to write down notes during a conversation pulls you out of the conversation. Fireflies.ai is the solution.
Fireflies.ai Makes Note-taking Easy
While interviewing someone for a magazine feature, we talked about recording video meetings for transcription. She told me about Fireflies.ai and how it has three main features that make it wildly overpowered:
- It seamlessly integrates with major video call platforms like Google Meet and Zoom.
- It leverages AI to make scary-accurate point-by-point notes and transcriptions of the meeting.
- All of that is free, which outpaces most other AI meeting assistant apps.
All you have to do is create an account and integrate Fireflies.ai with one of your video call accounts to get unlimited transcription and meeting notes with no cap on time limits. The mobile app allows you to record in-person meetings as well for the same transcription and note-taking features.

The transcriptions are fully searchable by keyword and automatically detect speakers, which the app will name for you based on who joined the video call. You can also assign the names yourself for in-person meetings that you record on the mobile app.
How I Use Fireflies for Work
You can see in the screenshot below how elegantly Fireflies.ai summarizes the discussion.
Within each bullet point, you can tell Fireflies to give you more information, and, well… it does.
Last up, there’s the transcription itself, which is scarily accurate even in high-noise environments. It’s searchable and easy to read, as you can see below:
The paid tiers allow you to download meeting audio, video, and transcripts while increasing the amount of meeting storage on the account, among other benefits. When paid annually, the plans are very affordable, so Fireflies.ai offers a huge value proposition to anyone who needs an AI assistant to keep their meeting notes and transcriptions in one place.
I love using it, and I will be using it for the foreseeable future.
