Need
Scribe
Fireflies.ai
Primary promise
Create a live, visible record the room can verify.
Transcribe, summarize, search, and analyze team conversations.
During the meeting
The meeting sees the notes as a participant video feed.
Fireflies can capture meetings and offers live-assist style support.
Best fit
Teams that want shared agreement while the meeting is happening.

What to look for in a notetaker
If the meeting record needs to be trusted by everyone in the room, visibility matters as much as transcription quality. Scribe is built around a live document, participant edits, comments, and a configured Google Docs destination instead of only a private post-call summary.
