## What this connects

Fireflies.ai helps your team transcribe, summarize, search, and analyze voice conversations.

Vendor: https://www.fireflies.ai

## Tools available

**21** tools available. First 12:

- `FIREFLIES_ADD_TO_LIVE` — Add to Live Meeting — The AddToLive Action allows you to add the Fireflies.ai bot to an ongoing meeting. Note: This action requires a paid Fireflies plan to add bots to meetings.
- `FIREFLIES_CONTINUE_ASK_FRED_THREAD` — Continue AskFred Thread — Tool to continue an existing AskFred conversation thread with follow-up questions. This action CANNOT create new threads - it only works with existing thread IDs. Use when you need to maintain context from previous exchanges and ask additional questions about meeting data in the same conversation. To start a new thread, use FIREFLIES_CREATE_ASK_FRED_THREAD instead.
- `FIREFLIES_CREATE_ASK_FRED_THREAD` — Create AskFred Thread — Tool to start a new AskFred conversation thread with a question about meetings. Use when you need to query meeting transcripts using natural language, either for a specific meeting or across multiple meetings with filters. Supports time-based queries and participant-focused queries.
- `FIREFLIES_CREATE_BITE` — Create Bite — Tool to create a bite (short video or audio clip) from a transcript segment. Use when you need to extract a specific portion of a meeting recording with defined start and end times.
- `FIREFLIES_DELETE_TRANSCRIPT_BY_ID` — Delete Transcript by ID — Permanently delete a transcript from the Fireflies account by its unique ID. This is a destructive action that cannot be undone. The transcript, along with its associated audio/video files and summaries, will be permanently removed. Rate limited to 10 requests per minute across all user tiers. Verify the target transcript via FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPTS and obtain explicit user confirmation before calling this tool.
- `FIREFLIES_FETCH_AI_APP_OUTPUTS2` — Fetch AI App Outputs — Tool to fetch AI App outputs for specific apps or transcripts. Use when you need to retrieve AI-generated results from Fireflies AI Apps for meetings.
- `FIREFLIES_GET_ASK_FRED_THREAD` — Get AskFred Thread — Tool to get a specific AskFred conversation thread with full history. Use when retrieving a particular AskFred thread along with all its messages and conversation details.
- `FIREFLIES_GET_ASK_FRED_THREADS` — Get AskFred Threads — Tool to retrieve a summary of all AskFred conversation threads for the current user. Use when you need to browse or list available AskFred conversations without fetching full message history.
- `FIREFLIES_GET_BITE_BY_ID` — Get Bite by ID — Fetches details for a specific bite by ID. Requires a Fireflies plan that supports Bites and appropriate API scope. If the bite is not found, use FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPT_BY_ID to retrieve full transcript context instead.
- `FIREFLIES_GET_BITES` — Get Transcripts — Fetches a list of bites (highlights) against input arguments. Bites are generated asynchronously after transcript completion — only call this after FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPT_BY_ID reports `status=completed`. Empty results are possible for valid meetings; use FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPT_BY_ID for full transcript context when bites are unavailable.
- `FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPT_BY_ID` — Get Transcript by ID — Fetches details for a specific Fireflies transcript ID. Requires a paid Fireflies plan. Response is nested at data.outputs.data.transcript; fields like sentences and attendees can be null — handle gracefully. transcript.summary.action_items may be a single newline-delimited string rather than an array — split by line breaks instead of iterating as an array. Limit concurrent calls to ~3 and apply exponential backoff on 429 responses, respecting Retry-After headers.
- `FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPTS` — Get Transcripts — Fetches a list of transcripts against input filters. Metadata filters (title, host_email, organizers, participants) match transcript metadata only, not spoken content. Pagination via skip/limit may trigger HTTP 429 on rapid requests; use backoff between pages.

## How agents use Fireflies

Inside a Definable workflow, Fireflies is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Fireflies** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Fireflies (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Fireflies** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Fireflies (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Fireflies** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Fireflies (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Fireflies call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
