Fireflies turns its notetaker into Fred, an AI teammate

Fireflies expanded Fred, the notetaker that has sat in on its users' meetings for years, into an AI teammate that works across meetings, email, messages and tasks.

Fred still records, transcribes and summarizes meetings with notes, decisions and action items. Beyond that, Fireflies lists an email assistant that catches you up, drafts replies and tracks follow-ups, a Slack assistant you tag for answers, and Fireflies Talk for dictation, which it describes as free and unlimited. Fred also keeps a searchable knowledge base across your documents, messages, meetings and work apps, tracks action items, and sends a daily brief with prep for each meeting.

For getting work done, AskFred answers questions across your tools, FredBots run recurring tasks on a schedule, Live Assist gives suggestions and coaching during a call, and Voice Agents take routine calls and interviews. Fireflies says Fred connects with more than 240 apps, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Slack and Notion.
