GILD Review

GILD's call and the buying facts behind it.

GILD analysis

Fireflies Review

Buy Fireflies for a shared, searchable record of customer calls, with recaps, CRM sync, and an API on every plan. By default it joins every calendar meeting, sends each invitee a recap, and shares each meeting with anyone who has the link. Lock those defaults centrally and set an AI credit budget before the first customer call is recorded.

The decision

Best fit
Sales, recruiting, and client teams that want a recorded, searchable record of external calls, filed in the CRM.
Consider another workflow
If people want notes with no visible bot and no recording kept, compare Granola. If meetings live in Teams and staff hold Copilot licenses, compare Copilot's meeting recaps.
Adoption condition
Set auto-join, recap emails, and link access at the team level. Name an owner for AI credit spend. Finish both before customer calls are recorded.

Basis: Fireflies documentation, pricing, and data handling, plus 63 public accounts. The Fireflies accuracy tests GILD found were published by competing notetakers or by Fireflies, so note quality here rests on user accounts: 13 praise it and 2 report missed speech. In a pilot, have each note owner correct ten transcripts of your own recorded calls and count wrong speakers and missed action items.

Where it runs

Zoom, Meet, Teams

The bot joins the call. The desktop app and Chrome extension record without it.

Details

The bot joins Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and other platforms. The Mac and Windows desktop app and the Chrome extension capture without a bot, and there are iOS and Android apps, an API, and an MCP server. Data is stored in the US on AWS and GCP unless Enterprise Private Storage is set up.

What to verify

Auto-join is on

By default the notetaker joins every meeting with a link, and recaps go to every invitee.

Details

By default the notetaker auto-joins all calendar meetings and emails recaps to everyone on the invite. It opens new meetings to teammates and anyone with the link until a user or admin changes them. Help pages say paid teams move up a credit tier automatically when credits run out, while the Terms of Service updated September 28, 2026 say Auto-Upgrade stays off unless you enable it. Check the Billing toggle.
