Granola
Elevate your meetings: AI notepad that enhances raw notes into actionable intelligence—bot-free, always on.
Granola revolutionizes back-to-back meetings for knowledge workers by capturing device audio for seamless transcription, then intelligently weaving AI enhancements into your manual notes.
Generate scannable summaries, extract action items, and query cross-meeting insights without bots disrupting calls.
Forward-thinking design turns meeting chaos into structured workflows, empowering teams at scaling companies to reclaim focus and drive outcomes.
🚫 The problem Granola solves
Combat meeting overload where calls dominate but notes pile up unfinished.
Granola delivers human-controlled, AI-boosted notes with concise summaries, action items, and long-term context—evolving from transcription to proactive workflow integration for sustained productivity.
✅ How Granola works
Granola operates discreetly from the menu bar or mobile Lock Screen, transcribing device audio across platforms without joining calls.
Jot raw notes during meetings; post-call, AI enhances them with transcript context, organizing into summaries with key decisions and actions.
Query folders for trends like pricing discussions or feature requests.
Integrates with Google Calendar, Zapier for workflows, and supports repeatable 'Recipes' for custom prompts across notes.
