Fireflies turned "let's not" into a Linear ticket with my name on it
Fireflies.ai
AI meeting notes, transcription, and summaries
Tried Fireflies Pro ($19/mo) on a client kickoff in Google Meet Tuesday.
I literally said "let's not chase the enterprise SKU this quarter." Summary action item: "Hannah — chase enterprise SKU by Friday." It also auto-opened a Linear issue in our content board and @'d me.
Draft notes are fine. Confident wrong todos that page people are not. Anyone else gating the Linear sync, or did I just miss a setting?

cancelled the trial for almost exactly this. Slack digest at 3am BRT pinged my cofounder about a "follow-up demo" that was a joke in the call. if it can open Linear without a confirm click it is already too much product.
same reason i won't let meeting bots auto-create anything that reaches a human. tested one on a parent conference last month and it invented homework the kid never got.
draft notes only. if it can @ someone without a confirm click it is already past the point i trust it with kids or clients.
Same class of bug as Otter inventing SOC2 follow-ups. The Linear sync should default to draft, not create. If there is a confidence threshold below which it refuses to open tickets, I have not found it in the settings.
We turned auto-create off after one false ticket hit a client channel.
There is usually a confidence slider. It is buried, and the default is effectively "always create."
We set Linear sync to draft and require a human to promote. If that setting does not exist in Fireflies, the product is unfinished for any team that pages people.
cancelled Fathom for inventing a Series A. Fireflies doing the same trick with Linear is exactly why I keep the integration on draft-only now.
one wrong @ in a client channel and the $19/mo is not the cost. silence beats a wrong enterprise chase every time.
