## Why Sistava

- Fireflies distinctive gap is tying meeting outcomes back to org systems. The skills library transforms transcripts; turning that into work elsewhere (Jira tickets, CRM updates, project plans) still relies on Zapier or manual steps. Sistava does the cross-system work as part of the same employee.
- Fireflies skills are AI prompts you run on a transcript. Sistava duties are continuous behaviors a hired employee follows across meetings, email, and chat (e.g., always update the CRM after a sales call, always file action items as Jira tickets).
- Sistava keeps the same context across meetings, threads, and projects, so the next call already knows what was unresolved last time.
- Sistava plugs into thousands of apps natively, so action items become real tickets rather than bullet points piped through Zapier.
- Fireflies wins if you want deep meeting analytics and a large skills library to apply to transcripts. Sistava wins if you want the meetings outputs to actually move work forward.
