Fireflies.ai releases ChatGPT-like notetaker, AskFred

Fireflies.ai has recently rolled out AskFred, a notetaking platform integrated with OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology, for workspaces.

This notetaker platform is leading the AI productivity space, with users across more than 100,000 organisations.

The bot joins meetings across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other widely used video conferencing platforms. 

It can: transcribe, summarise, and analyse conversations; answer queries about what happened in meetings; craft post-meeting emails; convert transcripts into blog form; and generate Twitter quotes based on what was discussed in meetings.

CEO Krish Ramineni declared that Fireflies was “focused on leveraging generative AI” so that employees can become more productive and creative in their line of work.

He added: “Our mission is to help turn conversations into actions. We are starting with where people spend the most amount of time in conversations– meetings.” 

Fireflies is releasing a series of products called AI extensions, the first of which is AskFred. These will be powered by AI credits, which will be available to Pro and Business users.
