No beating around the bush.
"Fireflies = standard for notes." Standard, yes. But a note is 10% of the value — the rest is post-call action.
"Fireflies has AskFred — it's like a Signal Score." No. AskFred is a chat over transcription. Signal Score evaluates every deal automatically.
"All meeting AIs are the same." Fireflies is for everyone. Luminote is only for sales — hence 24 CRM integrations.
What Luminote actually is
Luminote is an AI sales assistant built in Poland by LUMINOTE P.S.A. (Kraków) and hosted in the EU (Frankfurt/Warsaw). It came out of a simple observation: a sales rep spends more time filling in the CRM than talking to customers. We invert that — you talk, Luminote does the rest.
Under the hood: Mistral AI (Paris) for analysis and Voxtral for transcription in the cloud, plus local Whisper open source in the browser for sensitive meetings. No OpenAI, no GPT, no data sent across the Atlantic. Audio is not stored — it is processed in memory and disappears. What remains is what you actually need: a summary, action items, a MEDDIC update, a draft email to the customer, and risk signals on the deal.
Luminote integrates natively with 24 CRMs (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zoho, Livespace, Firmao, Bitrix24 and more) in two-way mode — no migration, no change to your stack. Meeting outcomes, tasks, stage changes and alerts land where you work: in the CRM and on Slack (new task, signal score, deal at risk, follow-up, summary).
The interface is available in Polish, German and English (more languages in preparation). A 14-day trial with no card, no seat minimum — then Basic / Pro / Enterprise. GDPR ✓, EU-only, no Patriot Act, no CLOUD Act.
✅ Choose Luminote if…
Your CRM is Pipedrive, Livespace, Firmao, monday, Zoho or one of 20 others — and you want a real sales assistant, not just a notepad.
⚙️ Choose Fireflies.ai if…
You need a simple meeting notepad for the entire company (sales, HR, product) — without sales intelligence.
Real questions asked by customers.
Will Luminote replace Fireflies?
Yes — and it will add a layer that Fireflies doesn't have: CRM deal updates, buying signals, MEDDIC, stakeholder mapping.
Does Luminote also work for non-sales?
No — Luminote is for B2B sales. For product or HR, stick with Fireflies.
Can I use both at once?
Yes, but it's a waste of money. Luminote does everything Fireflies does, plus pipeline management.
Where is my data?
Exclusively in the EU. No model training on conversations. Full GDPR compliance.
