Fireflies CEO walks back CTO's viral claim that founders faked early AI
Fireflies CTO Sam Udotong just admitted on LinkedIn that their early $100-a-month AI transcription service was actually "just two guys" hand-transcribing notes. After swift backlash over privacy violations and deceptive marketing, CEO Krish Ramineni rushed to backtrack, insisting to Inc. that the platform never used human reviewers and was automated from the start.
