Bring your tools into AskFred

Fireflies already sits in every meeting you take. Now you can connect it to the rest of the tools you work in, so Fred can pull context from them and take action without you copying and pasting between tabs. We just ran a live webinar with @chan showing exactly how and how to do it yourself in about a minute.

Here's what we covered and where to go deeper.

What changed (4:45)

Fireflies used to be where your meetings lived. Now it reaches outward. Connect your project tracker, your docs, your CRM, your design tools, and Fred can work across all of them from one place. As @chan put it, Fireflies isn't just a place your information sits, it's a teammate that gets things done.

Connect a tool in about a minute (9:00)

Open AskFred, open connectors, and pick from the built-in tools or add your own. Adding your own takes one step: paste the tool's connection link, approve the permissions, and you're connected. It supports both standard sign-in and key-based access, so even an internal tool can connect. Bookmark the full setup guide for the exact steps.

Ask once, pull from everywhere (12:00)

Once a tool is connected, Fred can pull from your meeting and that tool in a single question. No tab switching, no exporting. The context is just there when you ask.

Let Fred take action, live (12:30)

This is where it clicked for people. Chan connected Canva and asked Fred to build a flowchart, and Fred created the designs directly, no leaving Fireflies. The bigger idea: connect five or ten tools and Fred can chain them. Pull a spec from a meeting, refine it with one tool, and turn it into a diagram with another, all in one request.

A few questions came up a lot, worth calling out:

If you already use another AI tool with Fireflies, what does Fred add? The difference is that Fred already has your meetings as context and now your other tools too, in one place, so you skip the copy-paste step between apps. You can also point Fred at just your connected tools as its sources or let it search the web, your call.

Which tools can I connect? Most tools that offer a connection link work, including things people asked about like Jira, ClickUp, Notion, Canva, and even data warehouses like Snowflake. Browse what's available in integrations.

And on credits: basic Fred questions are free, while heavier requests use AI credits. Here's #The AskFred Prompt Playbook for getting the most out of each one.

Over to you: Which tool would change your day if Fred could reach into it? If you've been there, you know the feeling:

❌ Copying meeting notes into your project tracker by hand
❌ Jumping between five tabs to pull one answer together
❌ Exporting a transcript just to paste it into another AI tool
❌ Losing the thread between what was said and where the work lives

👇 Tell us the tool you'd connect first and what you'd want Fred to do with it. Be specific. Which tool and what task would you hand off? We'll show you how to connect it and what to ask.

Keep the conversation going: still have a question about connecting a tool, credits, or what Fred can reach? Drop it in the comments here or in #Ask the Community, and we'll help you get it set up.
