No bot ever joins your call

Cueora vs Fireflies.ai

Fireflies.ai sends its notetaker bot into calls from your calendar, records them, and stores the transcript and recording so you can search across meetings and push results to a CRM. Notes arrive after the call.

Cueora is a calm, bot-free AI meeting notes app. You type a two-word cue and it becomes sourced, structured notes within seconds, while the meeting is still on.

  • You do not want call recordings sitting in a cloud account.
  • You take in-person, hallway or phone meetings where no bot can join.

Pick Fireflies.ai if

  • You want a searchable archive of full recordings.
  • You need a bot to cover meetings you are not in.
  • You need native mobile apps today. Cueora's mobile companions are on the roadmap.

Questions people ask

Does Cueora join meetings like the Fireflies notetaker does?
No. Nothing joins. Cueora listens to your own device's audio, so Cueora never appears in the attendee list. You stay responsible for telling people you are taking notes where local law requires it.
Can Cueora attend a meeting I am not in?
No. Cueora is a live notes app for meetings you are in. If you need a bot to cover meetings you skip, a bot-based tool is the right pick.
Can Cueora push notes to my CRM and tools?
Yes. Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Linear and Asana natively, Zapier and Make for the rest, and one-click sharing by link, email or Slack.
