What is Granola?

Granola is designed for people with frequent conversations who need to stay present without losing the decisions and follow-ups. It uses computer audio and the notes you take during a conversation to produce an organized record, action items, and searchable context; it works alongside common meeting applications rather than joining the call as a visible participant. Calendar-linked preparation, post-meeting follow-up, and its connector options make it useful for turning a run of customer calls or internal meetings into a reviewable work trail. Before rolling it out broadly, confirm local recording rules, participant notice requirements, retention settings, and who can access shared notes or transcripts.

Who is Granola best for?

  • People who want meeting notes and action items without adding a bot to every call.
  • Teams that need searchable continuity across customer, project, or internal conversations.
  • Users able to establish clear consent, retention, and sharing rules for recorded meeting context.

What can Granola do?

  • Capture a conversation unobtrusively. Use computer audio and your own in-meeting notes to create a meeting record without adding a visible bot participant.
  • Turn notes into follow-through. Surface actions, decisions, and useful context immediately after a meeting so the next message or project update has a clear starting point.
  • Build searchable meeting memory. Find prior conversations and connect meeting context to the work that follows, while choosing what is kept private or shared.

Common questions about Granola

What should I try first with Granola?

Use it for a small set of recurring meetings where you already take notes. Compare the generated record with your own notes, check whether decisions and action items are accurate, and decide which notes should remain private versus shared.

Does Granola need a meeting bot to join the call?

Granola describes its approach as using your computer audio and meeting context rather than inviting a bot participant. That can reduce meeting friction, but it does not remove the need to follow your organization's recording, notice, and consent requirements.

What should a team decide before sharing meeting notes?

Set rules for consent, sensitive subjects, retention, access, exports, and who can share notes externally. Important commitments and customer statements should be reviewed by the meeting owner before a follow-up is sent.
