Episode notes
AI's Impact on Meetings
- AI can automate pre-meeting debriefs, real-time action item creation, and post-meeting reminders.
- Meetings will focus on decisions and discussions, with prep work done beforehand by AI.
Fireflies Evolution
- Fireflies started as an AI note-taker and has evolved into a work chief of staff.
- It now includes a feed that surfaces important information from meetings a user didn't attend.
LLM Evolution and Fireflies
- From 2016 to 2020, LLMs were not good enough, so Fireflies focused on accurate, cost-effective transcription.
- Now, with improved LLMs, the focus has shifted to summarization, notes, and action items.
