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.
Krisp
Krisp runs as a virtual audio device on your desktop, stripping background noise from both sides of a call in real time and processing audio locally so your voice never hits the cloud. It has since expanded into a full meeting assistant: bot-free transcription, AI summaries, action items, and real-time accent conversion for Indian, Filipino, and Latin American English speakers. Podcasters, remote workers, and call center teams use it. The AI summaries are functional but less polished than those from note-taking-focused rivals.
