What they are

Fireflies

Fireflies is an AI meeting assistant that deploys a bot named Fred into your Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or Webex calls to record, transcribe, and summarize conversations automatically. It builds a searchable archive of your entire meeting history, extracts action items, and on Business plans pushes notes directly into Salesforce or HubSpot. The free tier is usable for light testing, but the 800-minute storage cap and limited AI credits make it impractical for daily professional use.

HeyGen

HeyGen generates studio-quality videos using AI avatars and text-to-speech voices, so creators and marketers can produce talking-head content without filming themselves. It supports over 175 languages and lets you clone your own voice and likeness. Teams use it for product explainers, onboarding videos, and localized content at scale. The avatar quality is impressive for scripted material, but unscripted or conversational styles still feel noticeably synthetic.
