Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“The free tier is genuinely usable. Rare for this category.”
“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.”
“Clean Mac app, works with any meeting platform, and the notes are actually useful after the meeting. Simple concept, excellent execution.”
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
