What I wish I knew before auto-logging every call without lifting a finger
A practical, opinionated way to use Fireflies for auto-logging every call without lifting a finger, with the step I always forget.
The version I'd tell a friend is shorter than the marketing version.
The task: auto-logging every call without lifting a finger. Fireflies helps here because drops into calls and logs everything on its own.
Step one is the boring one people skip: clean the input before the tool touches it. Garbage in is still garbage out.
Step two, give it one job, not five. The moment you pile on asks, the output splits its attention and you get a polite nothing.
What I do differently is to set a limit. A timer on the task keeps the tool from becoming a thirty-minute rabbit hole.
The catch is that it's only as good as the example you feed it. A weak example gives a weak result, and that's on you.
I use it now without thinking, which is the highest praise I give a tool.
