Not just what they do, but how they do it

Fireflies processes meetings in the cloud and depends on bots or extensions to capture conversations. Radiant runs locally on your Mac, storing everything privately and suggesting next steps you can act on right away. Hereâs how their core features compare.

Meeting capture

Fireflies typically joins calls as a notetaker bot to record and transcribe meetings. It can also record through a Chrome extension without sending a bot, but the default experience is bot-based.

Radiant runs locally on your Mac and captures conversations automatically whenever audio is live. It documents meetings without creating recordings, bots, or browser tabs.

Transcription and notes

Fireflies delivers transcripts and notes in a browser workspace. They are editable, but tied to the Fireflies platform.

Radiant creates transcripts and editable notes directly in the app on your Mac. They stay local and are paired with next-step suggestions you can use right away.

Follow-ups

Fireflies can post meeting notes to Slack or log them in a CRM, but this requires setup and only shares static records. It does not draft communications for you.

Radiant suggests follow-ups immediately, drafting Slack messages, Gmail replies, or Linear tickets based on what was said. It opens them in your tools so you can review and send with a click, turning meeting outcomes into action.

What sets Radiant apart

Fireflies helps capture and store meeting content. Radiant goes further by turning conversations into action, with suggestions and tool-ready drafts that reduce manual follow-up and ensure your meetings create real momentum.
