Granola listens to your meetings and enhances the notes you take in real-time. Unlike transcription tools, it combines YOUR notes with AI context — so you keep the human element while AI fills in the details.
Reviewer scorecard
“Great API, webhooks, and scripting extensions. Perfect as a lightweight backend for internal tools and prototypes.”
“Clean Mac app, works with any meeting platform, and the notes are actually useful after the meeting. Simple concept, excellent execution.”
“Gets expensive fast. The free tier is crippled and at scale you'll outgrow it and wish you'd used a real database.”
“Differentiated from Fireflies/Otter by keeping you engaged in the meeting. You still take notes, AI just enhances them. That's a better model for retention.”
“Gallery views, Kanban, Gantt charts — it's the most visual way to manage creative projects without learning project management software.”
“The hybrid approach is genius — I take rough notes during the meeting and Granola fills in everything I missed. Way more useful than a raw transcript.”
