Fireflies.ai

• Pro lifts the transcript cap but includes only 10 AI credits a month. Unlimited AI credits start on the Team plan.

Fireflies.ai

Notetaker bot or bot-free capture

Invite the Fireflies notetaker to a call or let it auto-join meetings on your calendar. The desktop app can instead take notes from device audio with no bot in the meeting.

Transcripts and AI summaries

Every plan includes unlimited transcription, and paid plans add unlimited AI summaries with an overview, notes and action items. Fireflies lists support for 100+ languages.

AskFred and Live Assist

AskFred is an AI assistant for questions about meeting content. In the desktop app, a floating Live Assist pane shows notes, the transcript and AskFred during the call.

Fireflies Talk dictation

Hold a key and speak to dictate text into any app from the desktop app. Fireflies says this is free and unlimited on every plan, including Free.

Conversation intelligence

Business and Enterprise add analytics on team and individual conversations. Free and Pro do not include them.

Integrations and MCP server

Connects to CRMs, project tools, applicant tracking systems and dialers such as Aircall and RingCentral. An MCP server exposes meeting data to assistants like Claude and ChatGPT.

Tactiq

Live transcription without a bot

The extension transcribes Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in the browser as people speak, with speaker identification and support for more than 60 languages.

Text-only capture

Tactiq states that it does not record or store meeting audio. The transcript is produced in real time and saved as text, and it is shown only to the person running Tactiq.

AI summaries and action items

One AI credit covers a single AI action, such as a summary, a list of action items or one question. Free includes 5 credits a month, Pro 10, and Team and above are unlimited.

In-meeting AI and saved prompts

Ask the AI questions while the meeting is still running, and save custom questions as reusable prompts for later meetings.

Workflows

A workflow builder triggers steps automatically after a meeting and can post results to Slack, Notion, Linear, HubSpot and other tools. Workflows can be shared with a team.

Mac app (beta)

A native macOS app transcribes calls made in the Zoom desktop app. Tactiq's download page says other platforms are not supported in it yet.
