Not just what they do, but how they do it

Fireflies captures meetings using a bot or browser extension. The Supernormal app runs on your desktop, creating summaries and pairing them with actionable next steps. Here's what sets them apart.

How they capture

The Supernormal app runs on your computer and uses system audio to detect when a call or meeting is happening. It captures automatically when audio is live, or you can trigger captures manually for in-person conversations. No bots or browser tabs needed.

Fireflies typically joins calls as a notetaker bot to record and transcribe meetings. It can also record through a Chrome extension without sending a bot, but the default experience is bot-based.

What they produce

After the desktop app captures your meeting, Supernormal creates transcripts and summaries in the web app. Agents can then produce deliverables like decks, spreadsheets, and documents.

Fireflies delivers transcripts and notes in a browser workspace. They are editable, but tied to the Fireflies platform. Outputs focus on transcription and conversation logs.

How you follow up

Supernormal displays post-meeting prompts in your notes (make slides, draft email, extract actions) that create deliverables for fast completion. For more complex work, web app agents can create presentations, briefs, and other deliverables.

Fireflies can draft follow-up emails using AskFred, its AI assistant. Ask Fred to write an email and it generates a draft in the Fireflies platform. You can also set up integrations with Bardeen or Zapier to auto-draft emails with action items.
