argument-hint
[describe your note-taker selection or API integration question]
Help the user (a) pick the right AI meeting note-taker for their sales team, and/or (b) wire its API into downstream systems (CRM, warehouse, Slack, internal tools). This skill is tool-agnostic — it references specific platforms for selection and integration patterns but focuses on cross-vendor strategy.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.
Ask the user:
What's your primary goal?
A) Pick a note-taker for my team (selection/comparison)
B) Integrate an existing note-taker's API (transcripts → somewhere)
C) Both — evaluating a platform AND planning the integration
D) Debugging a specific API/webhook issue
What's your use case?
A) Sales org — discovery/demo calls, pipeline intelligence, coaching
B) Customer success — onboarding, QBRs, renewal health
C) Cross-functional — sales + CS + internal meetings
D) Specific workflow — e.g., auto-log transcripts to HubSpot, push action items to Slack, pipe everything to Snowflake
If integrating, where are transcripts going?
A) CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Pipedrive)
B) Data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks)
C) Internal app / database
D) Slack / notifications only
E) Multiple destinations (fan-out)
Scale?
A) <50 meetings/week (single team)
B) 50-500/week (mid-market sales org)
C) 500+/week (enterprise, multi-team)
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already has enough context, skip to Step 2.

Budget < $50/user/mo, small teams, free-tier shoppers
CRM depth — Gong and Avoma have the deepest native CRM field-mapping and deal intelligence; Fathom Business, Fireflies Business, Fellow Business ($15/seat, HubSpot/Salesforce) are solid; Otter is thinnest.
Coaching/QA features — Gong > Avoma > tl;dv Business (MEDDIC/BANT/SPIN playbooks, aggregated insights) > Salesloft Conversations / Chorus > Fathom/Fireflies (basic scorecards only).
Compliance — Gong, Avoma, Fireflies Business, Fathom Business all have SOC 2 + GDPR. For HIPAA/regulated industries, short-list drops to Gong, Avoma, Fireflies Enterprise.
Quick picks:
Solo rep / tiny team on a budget → Fathom free tier
SMB sales team, HubSpot/Salesforce-centric → Fathom Business or Fireflies Business
Every vendor returns a slightly different shape. Build a normalize_transcript(vendor, payload) function early. Common fields: speaker (email or display name), timestamp_ms (offset from start), text, confidence (optional). Fathom uses markdown export natively; Gong/Avoma return structured JSON with monologues; Fireflies returns sentences; Otter returns speaker-labeled paragraphs.
If you discover a gotcha, rate-limit ceiling, auth quirk, or vendor-specific payload oddity not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there with today's date.
Gotchas
Webhooks without signature verification are dangerous. Every vendor offers HMAC or similar — Fireflies uses x-hub-signature (SHA-256), Gong signs with its own header, Avoma provides a secret. Always verify before trusting the payload.
"Transcript ready" ≠ "summary ready." Vendors often fire the transcript webhook before AI summary/action-items are complete. Either wait for a separate summary.completed event (Fathom, Fireflies) or re-fetch a few minutes later.
Rate limits are the silent killer at scale. Gong's 3 req/sec hits fast when you have 500 calls/day and need metadata + transcript + participants for each. Cache aggressively, use batch endpoints where available, and queue API calls instead of fanning out in parallel.
Otter's public API is Enterprise-only and in beta. Do not plan a production integration on Otter's API unless you've confirmed Enterprise access. Zapier is the safer fallback for Otter.
Don't skip reconcile-polling. Webhooks fail — network blips, deploy downtime, vendor-side bugs. Run a nightly job that lists meetings from the last 48h and fills gaps. This has saved every production integration we've seen.
PII and storage compliance. Transcripts contain names, pricing, contract terms, sometimes PHI. If you're piping them to a warehouse, plan retention + access controls before the pipeline ships — not after Legal gets involved.
"Cheapest per seat" is misleading. Fathom free looks great until you need Business-tier CRM sync; Fireflies Business limits monthly meetings per user. Price the plan you'd actually run, not the teaser.
Platform-specific conversation intelligence (Salesloft, Chorus, Seismic) ≠ replacement for a dedicated note-taker. They're bolt-ons to existing tools. If you don't already use Salesloft/ZoomInfo/Seismic, don't buy them just for meeting recording — use a dedicated note-taker.

Examples
Example 1: SMB team picking a note-taker on a budget
User says: "I run a 6-person SaaS sales team on HubSpot. Which AI note-taker should we pick — we don't want to pay Gong prices."
Skill does:
Rules out Gong (budget), Otter (thin CRM), Fellow (not sales-first)
Short-lists Fathom Business ($20/seat) and Fireflies Business ($19/seat) — both have HubSpot native sync
Recommends Fathom if the team values a generous free tier for individual reps and simpler setup; Fireflies if the team wants conversation search + topic analytics
Notes Avoma ($29/seat) as the upgrade path if they later want methodology scorecards (MEDDPICC/BANT)
Result: Clear 2-option shortlist with a decision tiebreaker, and an upgrade path.
Example 2: Building a transcript pipeline to Snowflake
User says: "I need to pipe every Fireflies transcript into Snowflake so the data team can build dashboards. What's the architecture?"
Skill does:
Sketches the flow: Fireflies webhook → API Gateway/Lambda → validate x-hub-signature → enqueue → worker calls https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql for full transcript → write raw JSON to S3 + normalized rows to Snowflake via Snowpipe
Flags GraphQL complexity limits — fetch transcript sentences in one query, fetch audio/summary separately
Adds nightly reconcile job that lists last 48h of meetings to catch missed webhooks
Points to /sales-integration if they want iPaaS (Workato, Boomi) instead of custom
Result: A production-shaped architecture with specific endpoints, known rate-limit pitfalls, and a reconcile safety net.
Example 3: Webhook vs polling for Otter
User says: "We're on Otter and want transcripts in Slack within a minute of a call ending. Webhook or polling?"
Skill does:
Confirms Otter public API is Enterprise-only beta — asks if they have that tier
If yes: use Workspace Webhooks (they exist) — point directly at a Slack-forwarding service
If no Enterprise access: fall back to Zapier's Otter integration (pre-built Slack action)
Warns that Otter's beta API limits are undocumented — test end-to-end before committing
Suggests evaluating Fathom free tier or Fireflies free tier if the real requirement is "cheap + real-time + Slack"
Result: Grounded answer specific to Otter's reality, with a fallback if their tier doesn't support it.
Troubleshooting
Webhook fires but transcript is empty or truncated
Symptom: Payload arrives on transcription.completed but the transcript body is partial or blank
Cause: Most vendors fire the event as soon as ASR completes — AI summary, speaker diarization, and action items are still being generated on the vendor side
Solution: Either subscribe to a separate summary.ready / processing.completed event (Fathom, Fireflies offer one) or re-fetch from the meeting-detail endpoint 60-180 seconds after the initial webhook. Add a small queued retry with exponential backoff.
Rate limits hitting 429 in production
Symptom: Gong or Fireflies returning 429 during transcript backfill or high-volume days
Cause: Backfilling in parallel or fanning out transcript fetches for every new webhook without queuing
Solution: Queue outbound API calls with a token-bucket rate limiter tuned below the published limit (e.g., 2 req/sec for Gong's 3/sec limit). Honor the Retry-After header, not a fixed sleep. Cache call metadata so you don't re-fetch it on every downstream consumer.
Transcript format differs across vendors — downstream queries break
Symptom: A change from Fathom to Fireflies (or adding a second vendor) breaks every analytics query
Cause: No common schema — each vendor's payload is piped into the warehouse verbatim
Solution: Add a normalize_transcript(vendor, payload) step between ingest and warehouse. Store raw JSON in S3/GCS (audit/reprocessing), but write only the normalized schema to the warehouse. Common fields: meeting_id, vendor, external_id, started_at, duration_s, participants[], transcript[{speaker, ts_ms, text}], summary_md, action_items[], recording_url. When adding a new vendor, all you touch is the normalizer.
