Granola is an AI-powered notepad designed specifically for professionals who manage multiple meetings throughout their day. The platform combines manual note-taking with AI enhancement to create comprehensive meeting documentation without requiring meeting bots to join calls.
The tool works by transcribing computer audio directly while users take their own notes during meetings. When the meeting concludes, Granola's AI processes both the transcript and user notes to generate enhanced summaries that include key decisions, action items, and relevant context. This hybrid approach allows users to remain present in conversations while ensuring thorough documentation.
Granola supports all major meeting platforms including Google Meet, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Zoom. The application processes audio locally on the user's device, maintaining privacy without storing audio or video files. Transcripts are encrypted at rest and the company implements GDPR-compliant policies.
The platform offers customizable templates for different meeting types including customer discovery calls, one-on-one meetings, user interviews, pitches, and standup meetings. Users can structure their notes according to team requirements and organizational standards.
Granola includes an AI chat assistant that understands the context of meetings. Users can ask questions during or after meetings to extract specific information, generate follow-up emails, identify action items, or analyze discussion points. The assistant provides responses with source citations from the transcript.
The application enables easy sharing of meeting notes across platforms including Slack, email, Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity, and Zapier. Teams can create shared folders for collaboration and maintain centralized knowledge repositories.
Granola is available on macOS, Windows, and iOS platforms, supporting meeting documentation across desktop and mobile environments including phone calls and in-person conversations.
