Fireflies' notetaker exposed as an API for meetings + custom audio uploads.
Best for teams that already use Fireflies and want programmatic access to meeting transcripts + summaries. Pricing: Bundled in Fireflies plans (Business / Enterprise).
What it is
Beyond its notetaker app already in this directory under 'fireflies', Fireflies exposes a GraphQL API for retrieving meeting transcripts, action items, AI summaries, and uploading audio for transcription. The API is gated to higher-tier Fireflies plans. This entry covers the API surface for builders embedding Fireflies into other workflows. Best fit: teams that already use fireflies and want programmatic access to meeting transcripts + summaries. Caveats: api access is gated to higher fireflies plans; not a standalone stt api. Pricing as listed: Bundled in Fireflies plans (Business / Enterprise). Feature flags from vendor docs: speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, HIPAA-eligible under BAA. Directory tags: voice-intel, meeting-ai. Last vendor-page check: 2026-05-12.
Watch out for: API access is gated to higher Fireflies plans; not a standalone STT API.
