Can you imagine a world where you never have to take notes again because you had a personal assistant who transcribed and summarized each meeting with notes including who was speaking and the follow up action items? This assistant would also let you easily search, review and find clips of the meeting conversation?  This assistant is named Fred from Fireflies.ai When you add Fireflies to a recorded meeting it will be your best friend and let you focus on the meeting vs capturing what was said. In our conversation, we speak with Krish Ramineni, Fireflies co-founder about how Fireflies can help you improve your productivity in any area of your life. Krish shares his background,  early influences, and why getting yourself a Fireflies free trial today will change the way you have any future meeting.
