The Fireflies alternative

Fireflies, minus the bot

Works with your Plaud, in the room and on phone calls.

No bot waiting to be admitted, no extra face in the grid. Kasset records your calls from your own computer and writes the notes, next to the conversations you record on your phone or your Plaud.

Bring your Plaud

Plaud Note Pro and NotePin S, on Kasset Pro.

Fireflies records in the room on its phone app, but does not connect to a recorder. Kasset connects to the device itself.

  • Meetings in the room Clip on a NotePin S or set a Note Pro on the table, and the client visit gets the same notes as your calls.
  • Phone calls Snap the Note Pro onto the back of your phone and it records both sides of the call for Kasset to write up.
  • No Plaud subscription Kasset takes recordings straight from the device and transcribes them. A yearly Pro plan includes the device.

Kasset vs Fireflies

Fireflies sends a bot to your meetings. Kasset records from your computer instead, and brings in your Plaud.

Your clients meet you, not a bot

A bot in the participant list changes the room: people hesitate, ask who invited it, or ask you to remove it. Kasset records from your computer on Meet, Teams and Zoom, and the conversation stays a conversation.

After the call

One memory, not a pile of transcripts

Calls, voice notes and Plaud recordings land in one library, with the same notes. Ask Kasset what was agreed, or ask from Claude and ChatGPT through MCP, and the answer links back to what was said.

A few useful answers

Questions?

Is there a Fireflies alternative that does not join meetings as a bot? +
Yes. Kasset records Meet, Teams and Zoom from your own computer, so no notetaker appears in the participant list, on any meeting. Your invitees get a short email beforehand instead, saying the meeting will be recorded.
Does Fireflies work with a Plaud recorder? +
We found no way to connect one on Fireflies' published pages; you can upload audio files instead. Kasset connects to a Plaud Note Pro or NotePin S directly, so a meeting in the room, or a phone call on the Note Pro, becomes a Kasset note without exporting anything.
Which AI does Kasset use? +
ElevenLabs Scribe transcribes, and Anthropic's Claude writes the notes and answers Ask Kasset; members can pick GPT instead. None of them trains on your conversations. An administrator can keep a workspace on Mistral only. Where your data lives.
Will my clients know Kasset is recording without a bot? +
Yes, if the meeting is on your connected calendar. Kasset emails everyone on the invitation up to 30 minutes before the meeting, on by default, and anyone who would rather not be recorded can reply to you.
Can I import my Fireflies transcripts into Kasset? +
There is no Fireflies importer today. Keep your Fireflies archive, and start new conversations in Kasset.
Does Kasset work with Claude and ChatGPT? +
Yes. Kasset's read-only MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot search your conversations and answer from them. How it works.

About Fireflies

Fireflies says it does not use customer content to train models. The Fireflies Notetaker joins Zoom, Meet and Teams and stays in the participant list; the desktop app, and the Chrome extension on Google Meet, can take notes without it. Fireflies has iPhone and Android apps and an MCP server. We found no way to connect a Plaud or other recorder on Fireflies' published pages.

About Kasset

Plaud devices connect on Kasset Pro; phone calls need a Plaud Note Pro, and the NotePin S records in person only. Kasset has no importer for Fireflies transcripts. Kasset is on Mac first; Windows is coming, the iPhone app is in beta, and the Android app is on Google Play. The recording notice reaches invitees of meetings on a connected calendar, up to 30 minutes before; it does not reach people who are not on the invitation. Transcription runs on ElevenLabs and notes on Anthropic's Claude; an administrator can keep a workspace on Mistral only.
