In the latest episode of Subscriptions Scaled, we speak with Krish Ramineni), CEO at Fireflies.ai).

Fireflies is an AI meeting assistant and conversational intelligence platform. It includes an AI assistant named Fred that follows you around during your meetings: these include Zoom, WebEx, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and other major conferencing providers.

The AI assistant, Fred, joins your meetings and transcribes. It takes notes and summarizes them, allowing you to search back through your discussions for analytics and insights.

The goal of Fireflies is to help people be productive, eliminating the need to take notes during meetings. 

Krish started Fireflies in 2016 when he left Microsoft. He intended to go to grad school but started working on different projects instead.

In the early days of Fireflies, the team was consulting, bootstrapping, and contracting out. It built chrome extensions, among other projects.

Today’s version of Fireflies was established in 2019 and rolled out in 2020. 

There was a three-year period where the team experimented with machine learning, chatbots, and natural language processing. They fell in love with the voice space and decided to focus on that. 

When the pandemic came, everyone started using video conferencing and Fireflies became highly successful.

Learn all about Fred—the AI assistant that joins your meetings, transcribes, takes notes, and summarizes them—tune in to the latest episode of Subscriptions Scaled, with Krish Ramineni), CEO at Fireflies.ai).
