Granola

Granola is an AI notepad for people with back-to-back meetings. It listens to your computer's audio, transcribes the conversation in the background, and turns it into notes, action items, and a searchable memory of past discussions. Unlike meeting bots, it does not join calls as a participant, so the other attendees see nothing extra in the participant list. It works with common video platforms and in-person conversations, and it is available on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Granola also keeps a memory of past conversations, so context carries from one meeting to the next.

Key Features

• Bot-free capture that uses your computer's audio and transcribes in the background.
• Compatibility with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, in-person conversations, and other platforms.
• Calendar integration that detects upcoming meetings and builds a pre-meeting Brief for external meetings.
• Notes that are private by default, with sharing only when you choose.
• Post-meeting help that drafts notes, lists action items, and creates follow-up emails or project plans.
• Chat across meetings for answering questions from your meeting history, plus an MCP connector that lets tools such as Claude, Cursor, and OpenAI read notes.
• Mobile apps for iOS and Android, plus an Apple Watch app, for in-person and on-the-go use.
