This story is insane.
The founders of Fireflies AI (now worth $1B+) pretended to be an AI notetaker before the tech existed.
The founders would:
> Join meetings on mute as "Fred from Fireflies"
> Take notes by hand while sitting silently
> Send the "AI-generated" notes 10

Turns out the first version of @firefliesai – AI meeting assistant – doesn't even have AI.
It's just founder joining the calls,
taking notes manually,
and sending the summary back.
