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.
Restream

Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view.
