Fireflies.ai
Records, transcribes and summarizes meetings across common video call platforms, then pulls out action items automatically.
Edition 2026
The best AI meeting note takers
These live or die on two things nobody demos: accuracy on accented speech, and what happens to the recording afterwards.
A transcript that is ninety per cent right is worse than none, because you stop checking it. So accuracy is measured on real meetings with crosstalk, not on a single clear speaker.

How we judged this
Fixed before anything was ranked
What we look at
- Accurate on accented speech and on people talking over each other
- Identifies who said what without manual tagging
- Deletes recordings on a schedule you control
- Actions extracted are actually actionable, with an owner
- Joins the meeting platforms you use, including without a bot in the room
Helps if you have it: A word error rate measured on a recording with at least three speakers, and the published retention policy.
