Granola

Granola records audio from a meeting on the user’s computer, transcribes it in real time, and combines the transcript with any notes taken during the session. After the meeting ends, the AI processes the raw material to produce a structured summary that includes key takeaways, decision‑making insights, budget and timeline items, and next steps. The resulting notes can be exported in formats that fit the team’s workflow.

The tool is aimed at professionals who attend back‑to‑back meetings and need a searchable, organized record without manually typing everything. It targets product teams and other groups that value concise, AI‑enhanced meeting documentation while keeping the process simple for non‑technical users.

Granola runs on macOS and does not require external meeting bots; it captures audio directly from the computer. Its design mirrors a standard note‑taking app but adds transcription and automatic enhancement, allowing users to stay present during conversations while still generating a rich, searchable memory of each meeting.
