Granola
Granola is an AI notepad for meetings that listens through the computer's audio, with no bot joining, and turns rough notes into full notes.
Granola is an AI notepad for people with back-to-back meetings. It transcribes from the computer's own audio rather than sending a bot to the call, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and any other meeting app, and its iOS and Android apps cover in-person conversations. During the meeting the user jots rough notes, and afterward Granola enhances them into clear notes with action items and next steps. Before external meetings it syncs with the calendar to prepare a brief on who is attending and what was discussed last time, and AI chat answers questions within and across meetings. Notes are private by default and easy to share in folders, and paid plans add unlimited history, advanced models, integrations with Attio, Notion, HubSpot, Affinity and Zapier, an MCP connector and an API.
