Granola

Granola is an AI-powered meeting notepad and productivity assistant that captures meeting audio and turns conversations into structured notes, summaries, and action items. It combines AI transcription with users' own notes to create more useful meeting documentation.

The platform works without requiring a visible meeting bot to join calls and supports meeting workflows across desktop and mobile devices. It also lets users search and interact with their meeting notes after conversations end.

How Granola Works

• Meeting Capture: Granola captures meeting audio directly from the user's device without requiring a bot to join the call.
• Note Taking: Users can type their own shorthand notes during the meeting while Granola processes the conversation.
• AI Enhancement: Granola combines the user's notes with the meeting transcript to create structured and detailed notes.
• AI Processing: The platform generates summaries, key points, action items, and other useful meeting information.
• Post-Meeting Chat: Users can ask questions about their notes, find information across conversations, or generate follow-up content.
• Workflow Integration: Granola can connect meeting information with tools such as Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Attio, and Zapier on supported plans.
