Granola is an AI notepad for people with back-to-back meetings: it listens to your computer's audio (rather than sending a bot into the call) and instantly enhances the sparse notes you type into structured summaries, action items, and follow-ups. It's aimed at busy professionals and teams — founders, sales, and customer-success roles — who run frequent external meetings and want to stay present instead of scrambling to write everything down. Its main differentiator is the bot-free, capture-your-own-audio approach combined with pre-meeting Briefs that pull context from your calendar and past conversations.

AI meeting assistant that joins your calls to record, transcribe, and summarize them automatically. Searchable notes and action items across Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams — one of the most-mentioned time-saving tools.
