What is Granola?
Granola is an AI notepad for people who spend much of their day in meetings. It captures device audio in the background instead of adding a bot to the call, then turns the conversation and the user's own notes into an organized meeting record. It works with meeting services such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack Huddles, as well as phone calls and in-person conversations.
Granola can prepare users before external meetings by combining calendar details with earlier discussion context. After a meeting, it produces notes, action items, and material for follow-up tasks. Its chat can also answer questions across past meetings, helping users retrieve commitments and other relevant details.
Key Features
- Bot-free meeting capture: Records through the device's audio, allowing it to work across online meeting apps without sending a separate participant into the call.
- AI-enhanced notes: Combines meeting context with notes written by the user to create a structured summary with decisions, discussion points, and actions.
- Meeting briefs and follow-ups: Paid plans can prepare pre-meeting context and help draft follow-up emails after conversations.
- Cross-meeting chat and search: Users can ask questions about earlier discussions and find information across their meeting history, subject to plan limits.
- Mobile and in-person recording: iOS and Android apps support phone calls, walking meetings, conferences, and other conversations away from a desktop.
- Sharing and integrations: Shared folders support collaboration, while paid plans add services such as Notion, Zapier, HubSpot, Attio, and Affinity, plus API and MCP access.
Use Cases

- Track decisions, owners, and next steps from project or product meetings.
- Prepare for client conversations using prior meeting and calendar context.
