Overview
Granola is an AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. You jot a few notes during a call; it transcribes your computer audio without sending a bot into the meeting and turns your notes into a clear write-up with decisions and next steps. Afterwards you can chat with one meeting or many, and share notes when you choose. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and other meeting apps, and suits managers, sales teams and anyone whose calendar is full.
No bot joins the call, and your own notes guide what the summary focuses on rather than a generic transcript recap.

Good to know
You go from call to call and lose track of what was decided. Granola transcribes the meeting from your computer audio, combines it with the notes you typed and gives you a write-up with next steps that you can search or ask about later.
Limits
- On the free Basic plan, meeting history is limited to 30 days and chat uses automatic model selection only.
- On a Mac it needs microphone and system audio permission to transcribe, and it reads your calendar to find meetings.
