Meeting notes vs meetings, calls, and construction documents
Fireflies is a notetaker that joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams meetings. It covers phone calls through business dialer integrations like Aircall, RingCentral, and Zoom Phone, which suits a sales team at desks.
A super's calls happen on a cell phone, in the truck and on the slab. Hardline takes notes on those calls on your existing number (or a Hardline work number), plus site walks and meetings, and turns them into daily logs, RFIs, punch items, and tasks synced to Procore, Autodesk Forma, and Fieldwire.
No audio stored. No dialer to switch to.
- Who Hardline is for
- Superintendents, PMs, project engineers, and foremen at GCs and trade contractors who work from a cell phone in the truck and on the jobsite, not from a desk dialer.
- What Hardline creates
- Daily logs, RFIs, punch items, issues, observations, and tasks with owners and deadlines, plus meeting minutes and change orders, from calls, site walks, and meetings.
- Where it syncs
All field reporting syncs to Procore, Autodesk Forma, Fieldwire. Trimble: coming soon.- Audio
- No audio stored, on calls or site walks. Hardline transcribes, discards the audio, and keeps the written record.

Where each one actually fits
Real moments from a construction week, and what happens in each tool.
| Scenario | Hardline | Fireflies |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier calls the super's cell to push a delivery two days | Notes taken, schedule impact flagged as a task, synced | Not captured unless the call runs through a supported business dialer |
| Weekly OAC meeting runs on Zoom or Teams | Minutes with owners and action items, in the same project record as the calls | Joins the meeting and writes notes and a summary |
| Architect answers a question on a call that should become an RFI | RFI drafted from the conversation, ready to review and sync to Procore | Summary and action items; the RFI is written by hand |
| Daily log is due at the end of the day | Drafted from the day's calls and walks, synced to your PM tool | Per-meeting notes; the daily log is still written by hand |
| Walk with the foreman to check rough-in | On-site capture turns the walk into tasks and punch items with photos attached | Built for meetings, not site walks |

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Hardline and Fireflies.
Can Fireflies take notes on phone calls?
Through dialer integrations. Fireflies connects to business phone systems including Aircall, JustCall, Outreach, Quo (formerly OpenPhone), RingCentral, Salesloft, and Zoom Phone. Hardline takes notes on the calls on your own cell number through carrier-level call forwarding, or on a Hardline work number, with no dialer to switch to.
Does Fireflies create daily logs, RFIs, or punch lists?
No. Fireflies produces meeting notes, summaries, and action items. Turning a conversation into a daily log, an RFI, or punch-list lines is left to the user. Hardline produces those construction documents directly and syncs them to Procore, Autodesk Forma, and Fieldwire.
Does Hardline take notes in Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams meetings?
Yes. Turn on the meeting notetaker once in settings and add Hardline to your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meetings. The minutes and action items land in the same project record as your calls and site walks.
What does Hardline sync to Procore, Autodesk, and Fieldwire?
Any field reporting Hardline creates can sync to Procore, Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud), and Fieldwire: daily logs, RFIs, issues, observations, punch items, tasks, and meeting minutes.
Does Hardline store audio recordings?
No. Hardline transcribes in real time, discards the audio, and keeps only the transcript and the documents it creates. There is no recording on your phone or on our servers.
Key facts
No audio stored. Hardline does not store audio. On a call it transcribes in real time, discards the audio, and keeps only the transcript, the summary, and the documents it creates. On-site capture works the same way for site walks and in-person meetings: no audio is retained.
What syncs to Procore. Any field reporting Hardline creates can sync to Procore, Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud), and Fieldwire: daily logs, RFIs, issues, observations, punch items, tasks, and meeting minutes. Outputs can also stay in the Hardline app.
Accuracy and human review. Hardline uses construction-trained AI that reaches roughly 98% accuracy based on customer usage data. What it creates is a draft your team reviews and edits; most teams review and approve in under 10 minutes.
Offline and field reality. Phone calls need cell signal like any call. On-site capture for walks and in-person meetings works offline: it runs on the device and generates the summary once you are back in range.
