Three moves for this week.
-
Accuracy
Read the summary against the transcript before it goes to the client.
-
Privacy
Fireflies says meeting data is never used for AI training (0-day retention). Still tell attendees the bot is recording.
-
Cost
Custom data retention and transcript-only mode sit on Enterprise: $39 per seat, annual only.
Watch out: the retention controls you may want are Enterprise-only.
Power and Risk scores are editorial judgment for marketers and small-business operators, not laboratory tests or legal advice. Power = leverage (dangerous in a good way). Risk = what can go wrong (privacy, wrong answers, lock-in, cost surprises). Tools change; re-check pricing, privacy policies, and data controls before you adopt anything.
