About Granola

Granola is a meeting intelligence tool designed to enhance, rather than replace, human note-taking. Unlike typical AI meeting bots that awkwardly join video calls, Granola runs locally on the user's Mac, capturing system audio to transcribe the meeting in the background.

While the meeting progresses, users can jot down bullet points. After the call, Granola combines the user's notes with the full transcript to generate a polished, accurate summary. It offers customizable templates for different meeting types (e.g., sales calls, sprint planning) and allows users to share summaries via a simple link.

Key Features

  1. No-Bot Recording: Records audio directly from your computer, so no bot joins the call.,
  2. Human-in-the-Loop AI: Enhances your manual notes with details from the transcript.,
  3. Custom Templates: Pre-built structures for different meeting types ensuring relevant summaries.,
  4. Shareable Links: Instantly generates a formatted page to share with the team.,
  5. 4k Resolution: Captures high-fidelity visuals (if using screen capture features) and audio.

Use Cases

  1. Documenting client meetings without intrusive bots.,
  2. Synthesizing messy thoughts into structured follow-up emails.,
