Granola
by Granola
FreemiumAI meeting notes app that captures audio without a visible bot, then enhances your own notes with transcript context for clean, structured summaries and action items.
Overview
Granola is an AI meeting notes app that captures device audio without joining as a visible bot participant — no recording announcement, no awkward "AI is listening" banner. You jot your own rough notes during the meeting, then Granola enhances them afterward with context from the full transcript, producing clean, structured summaries with action items.
The platform’s AI combines your personal notes with the meeting transcript to create output that reflects what you actually found important, not just what was said. Recipes let you define custom formats and post-meeting actions, and integrations push notes directly to Notion, HubSpot, Slack, and Zapier. The 2026 launch of Spaces added team workspaces with granular access controls.
Granola is best suited for founders, sales teams, consultants, and anyone in meeting-heavy roles who want structured notes without the social friction of recording bots. Its $1.5B unicorn valuation (May 2026 Series C) reflects rapid adoption among professionals who tried notetakers but hated the bot.
