Purnama Outreach, a fully remote social enterprise, faced significant challenges in disseminating meeting notes and other crucial information across its global team. The company, which operates in different time zones, found it difficult to schedule meetings where all key players could attend. This situation was further complicated by the diverse accents of team members, which posed a barrier to understanding and transcribing accurate meeting notes. Moreover, the company was struggling with inefficient information dissemination, a common issue among remote teams. This lack of effective communication and collaboration tools was hindering the company's productivity and its mission to bring about positive change in the lives of Asian women and children.

Purnama Outreach found a solution to their communication and collaboration challenges in Fireflies, an AI-powered tool designed to transcribe and disseminate meeting notes. The Fireflies Notetaker Bot automatically transcribes any meeting it is invited to with high accuracy, breaking down language barriers by handling different English accents well. Once a meeting is concluded, the meeting leader can send post-meeting recaps to the entire team or specific members, ensuring that the right information reaches the right person at any time. Team members can access meeting information on their Fireflies Notebook and Notepad, search for key topics, or flag important meeting moments for review. This solution has significantly improved asynchronous remote team collaboration, allowing the Purnama Outreach team to collaborate easily regardless of time zone and location.
