Hi Product Hunt 👋, I'm Krish, co-founder of Fireflies, and along with my co-founders @sudotong. We are so excited to share Fireflies with you. Fireflies is coming out of beta to hear the community’s valuable feedback. Fireflies helps you record, transcribe, and search your calls in one central place. We fundamentally believe there is a treasure trove of information that is lost inside conversations. No matter what type of meeting it is, we are always striving to remember too much information or scrambling to take notes. Whether you are a sales rep, recruiter, product manager, executive, consultant, or journalist there is value in remembering your conversations. Our goal was to provide a solution that would augment data capture for everyone in the workplace. Fireflies.ai aims to give you superpowers to remember every conversation you’ve ever had with perfect recall. Fireflies plugs into your Google calendar and can join meetings for a plethora of web-conferencing platforms like Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, GoToMeeting and more. You can even invite fred@fireflies.ai to your meetings or upload previously recorded audio files to our platform to be transcribed. Once a meeting is processed you can create notes, listen to the call, read the transcript and search the call inside our dashboard. We’ve spent the past year and a half fine-tuning the system and getting Fireflies into thousands of meetings. Today, we are proud to share our platform publicly with you all. We would love to get your feedback! We'll be around all day answering questions, so feel free to comment here or email me or my co-founder Sam directly at krish@fireflies.ai or sam@fireflies.ai.

@sudotong @fireflies @krish_ramineni Great product, I have been working with audio processing app in past. I know the complexity of this system. Great job team. Is it possible to record the note or upload any recording to get transcription and can manage it? Also, the mobile application will be available in near future? I do some meeting via tablet or mobile. Cheers, -ND

hi @nishchit_dhanani thanks! let's see if I can answer all parts of your questions: 1. You can upload pre-recorded files into our system and get the transcript 2. If you have upcoming web-conferencing meetings on your calendar, you can invite fred@fireflies.ai to join the call, record those meetings, and transcribe it automatically for you. 3. Mobile app is potentially in the pipeline (yes) if you need a way to get a transcription of an in person meeting you can have Fireflies call your cell number or record the call using your device and then later upload it to Fireflies :)

@sudotong @fireflies @krish_ramineni , Have you started with outbound sales for FireFlies ?
Krish Ramineni

@sudotong @fireflies @shreyaa_ratra just want to clarify do you mean having our own team do outbound sales to sell Fireflies? We have a handful of customers doing outbound sales using Fireflies on their calls 😄
Shreyaa Ratra
@krish_ramineni Yes I meant own team doing outbound sales. Well, in that case I don't think you need one 😃 However, if you need to scale your sales in future, do let me know. Would be happy to help 😃

Watched product evolve over time. I requested the old recording feature and they built it - awesome when companies prioritize their users like that. So excited for all of us to spend more time working on what matters and not the minutia

Pros:

- Can use old recordings and get transcript

- Helps w/ investor conversations and makes sales follow-up super easy

- Dashboard overview

Cons:

None so far

Awesome to here that the call upload feature has been a huge value add for you! I can imagine how many people record their calls or have recorded files just sitting there and need a fast way to transcribe, search, and save those convos :)

Got the chance to try Fireflies out a couple times and I was surprised with how easy it was to integrate into our flow. Basically you just need to make a Google cal event (which we do) and you're done! Having our meetings be searchable is a gamechanger, doubly so with remote team mates. Excited and curious to see what's next for Fireflies.

Pros:

Seamless & really good results!

Cons:

Not sure yet

Sam Udotong

Thanks for the candid feedback -- while building this we really prioritized making it fit seamlessly into custom workflows. We provide users with full control: upload files & invite it to meetings whenever you like. Likewise, we provide the ability to tell Fireflies tot auto-join any new calendar events with a dial-in number. That way, it's less overhead thinking, and Fireflies can capture the important moments from every meeting.

I honestly wish I had found out about this product earlier because these guys are really on to something. I can now focus on my calls and leave the note taking to the AI, and the best part is, the call notes always end up in the correct salesforce record!

Pros:

automatically pushes meeting notes to my crm SEAMLESSLY

Cons:

wish I found this sooner

Krish Ramineni

ahh yes @kashish_gupta filling out the CRM and logging activities after every meeting is one painful task we can all do away with 😉 awesome to see you are using our new integrations.
Ryan Hoover
While this seems to be positioned more for internal note taking, sales is where the money's at (more directly). I wonder how much overlap this has with VoiceOps, which is a tool for salespeople to analyze and learn from their sales calls.
Al Ramich (CEO loomi.ai)
@rrhoover Looks like a great productivity tool. Agree that sales is where I would expect to see most revenue coming from around lead management. Not quite but also very simialr to https://www.voicera.com/
Krish Ramineni
Maker
@rrhoover Interestingly a large segment of our users have been sales teams and folks using it in customer facing conversations. Those are also the teams that tend to adopt it more widely inside their orgs. Right now, there are several good sales enablement tools out on the market. Our primary goal for this launch was to showcase the workflow and sales automation capabilities that reps themselves use. That's been our forte in the past year. We are doing more custom offerings for sales and support teams as well on a team by team basis that need enablement capabilities :) Fundamentally, there is a lot of different ways to slice and dice conversational data. Excited to see all the use cases starting to open up now!
Anish Punjabi
I’ve used Fireflies many times to help automate my conversations—meetings, reminders, etc.—this product is the future of note taking—it has cut my time spent making laundry lists and greatly enhanced productivity elsewhere by using my time spent otherwise note taking and investing it elsewhere. Great work Krish and Sam!
Sam Udotong
Maker
@anish_punjabi Thanks for being an early adopter and buying into the vision. It's 2018. We should be able to focus on meetings and the conversation instead of taking notes 😁 We're excited to continue working on building a great experience and getting valuable feedback from people like you
Kieran O'Reilly

I'm very excited about fireflies. We used it once and definitely see how it could benefit our team long term!

Pros:

Great plugins, really useful, great search

Cons:

None available

Sam Udotong

Thank you for trying it out 🙌 The question we are really interested in enabling and answering is: What happens when all of your important conversations are transcribed and stored efficiently? We believe that this database can become a source of product improvement, sales training, recruiting standards, and many other valuable things. We're excited to keep driving towards making this easy to access.

Is there a reason for lack of transparency in pricing? Would be nice to know what's the starting price, or the average pricing for a small team
Krish Ramineni

It's an amazing product for all those people who attend loads of meeting everyday. Don't worry about keeping a track of the meetings. Fireflies will take care of it. All you have to do is just subscribe. Sit back and enjoy.

Pros:

Extremely efficient dashboard similar to Gmail that helps me to keep a track of all my meetings.

Cons:

Nothing so far.

Florence Kwok
This product is super intuitive to use and has the highest transcription quality I've seen yet. I highly recommend it to anyone who takes more than a few meetings per week and has a hard time remembering all the details/action items from their calls. Great job guys!
Sam Udotong
Maker
Hi @fllorencekwok thank you!! It's been a long journey to get the transcription quality to where it is today. We started off almost a year and a half ago with very expensive and slow transcription. But we've made strides and bounds in being able to offer a fully automated service, using recent advances in natural language processing. Today, we're continuing tot improve transcription by customizing the vocabulary with keywords, phrases and terminology specific to each user.
Florence Kwok
@sudotong @krish_ramineni Awesome! I started using this product just 7 months ago and the quality has improved a lot since then. Great to see how far you've come in just that short amount of time. Also, I frequently meet with international teams and I'd like to roll this out to their regions. I'm curious about whether or not Fireflies allows transcription in other languages?
Sam Udotong
Maker
@fllorencekwok We've listened and doubled down on what you and everyone was saying back then, thanks this means a lot! Right now we're only focusing on English. We support accents, but the stronger the accent the lower quality the summary and transcript will be. For high quality notes, just make sure that there is minimal background noise, speakers aren't interrupting each other frequently, and microphone accurately captures your audio. Our service is 100% automated :)

I participated in an incubator with FireFlies last year and it is great to see this product grow. Both of their founders are extremely passionate and talented. I firmly believe that this product will be a staple for any sales team that uses a CRM at any scale.

Pros:

Makes tedious tasks we hate, simple

Cons:

Should have used it way sooner

Krish Ramineni

Hey guys we've gotten a few questions as we've helped users onboard that I wanted to share here as well: 1. Fireflies currently supports the English language today. We will do other languages in the future 2. Fireflies can dial into a host of web-conferencing platforms like Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, Uberconference, GoToMeeting, Ringcentral, Skype for Business, etc 3.When you are including the dial in number on the platform Fireflies can only parse US Dial-in numbers and pins. Most web-conferencing platforms have a US dial in number. 4. Fireflies will send out a summary within 30 mins. It takes some time to process. You will get an email notification from fred@fireflies.ai with a link once your meeting is ready.

Awesome product - great for transcribing any kinds of audio and super easy to use. Looking forward to seeing where the team goes from here!

@anvishapai Thanks a bunch. We're scratching the surface here. The goal is to do the core functions really well since it applies to a broad set of users. We are also diving deep into some of the AI features like automatic notes suggestions and flagging action items. You can check them out in this sample call here: https://app.fireflies.ai/view/de...

Robin Patrick Monks
I’ve had the opportunity to try Fireflies a few times during its growth and I’ve been really impressed what this team has done as far as dramatically enhancing the product over the past 9 months. It’s truly remarkable how much great work and functionality they’ve improved in that time span, so I’m excited to see where they take it next. We’ve been moving toward a more remote-friendly office, and having Fred (the bot) able to take notes and keep everyone on the same page is going to help with that tremendously.

@robin_patrick_monks Thank you so much for all the support and following our progress over the past year Robin. Nothing is more satisfying for the entire team as seeing users start to get value out of the platform after all the gradual improvements. We are big on having a remote friendly team here at our company as well. I truly think global workforces are only going to be more popular and I hope Fireflies is able to provide more value to teams like yours. :)

As someone with a hearing disability, this could be extremely helpful. I spend so much of my time focusing and processing what's being said in a meeting that it's really tough to capture the information. I'm definitely going to try this out. Thank you guys so much for this.
