How to deploy a recording bot to meetings with your AI

Connect Fireflies.ai to your agent once. From then on, you just drop a meeting link into your chat to get a bot in the room.

Short answer

How do I send a recording bot to a meeting I'm already in?

Paste the meeting URL into your chat and tell your agent to send the bot. The agent uses Fireflies.ai to join the session immediately. You'll get a transcript and summary once the call ends.

The results

What you get from the bot

The agent handles the technical handoff so you can stay focused on the conversation.

DEPLOYMENT

Bot joins the call

The agent triggers the Fireflies bot to enter the meeting URL you provided. It shows up as a participant in your video call.

RECORDING

Audio is captured

The bot listens to the entire conversation. It captures the audio and video feed for later processing.

ANALYSIS

Meeting data is ready

Once the meeting ends, Fireflies generates a transcript and a summary. These files are ready for your agent to read.

HUMAN

You review the notes

The AI doesn't decide what's important. You look over the generated summary to ensure it caught the right details.

The workflow

What your AI does when the URL arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between your chat and the live meeting.

  1. Identify the link

    Your agent parses the meeting URL from your message to find the destination.

    add_to_live_meeting

  2. Deploy the bot

    The agent calls the connector to send the Fireflies bot into the active session.

    add_to_live_meeting

  3. Monitor status

    The agent confirms the bot has successfully joined the meeting room.

    add_to_live_meeting

  4. Finalize recording

    The agent waits for the meeting to wrap up so the transcript becomes available.

FAQ

How the bot behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI join the meeting as a person?

    No. The agent sends a Fireflies bot that appears as a participant, not as your own user account.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete a recording once it's made?

    No. The agent can only trigger the bot to join a meeting. You must manage or delete recordings within Fireflies.ai.

  • 03

    Will the bot record if I don't give it a URL?

    No. The agent needs a specific meeting URL to know where to send the bot.

  • 04

    Does the AI listen to the meeting in real time?

    The bot records the audio, but the agent uses the resulting transcript after the meeting is finished.

  • 05

    Can the AI change the meeting settings?

    No. The agent only has the ability to add the bot to the meeting via the provided tool.
