Granola
The AI notepad for back-to-back meetings.
Granola is an AI notepad for desktop and mobile that records meeting audio from your device without adding a bot to the call. It transcribes conversations in real time and turns them into notes, action items and follow-ups, while syncing with your calendar to prepare briefs before external meetings. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and other meeting platforms, as well as in-person conversations via the iOS and Android apps.
Core features include speaker tagging, customized note templates, multi-language support, pre-meeting briefs, follow-up email drafts, and Granola Chat for searching and querying across your meeting history. Integrations cover Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity, Zapier, Gmail, Google Calendar and Outlook, plus an MCP connector that makes notes available to AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT. Notes are private by default, audio is deleted after transcription, and the service is SOC 2 Type II certified.
Granola is aimed at individuals and teams who attend frequent meetings. It is packaged in three seat-based editions: a free Basic plan with limited meeting history, a paid Business plan for individuals or small teams with unlimited history and advanced integrations, and an Enterprise plan adding SSO, admin controls, usage analytics and priority support.
