Granola

Granola is an AI notepad that takes your rough meeting notes and turns them into polished, shareable summaries, working without a bot joining your calls. It transcribes audio directly on your device while you jot down the points that matter, then blends your notes with the transcript so the output reads like you wrote it, only complete.

Because there is no recording bot in the room, Granola works with any meeting platform and stays invisible to other participants. After the call, you can chat with your meeting history, pull action items, and reuse templates for recurring formats like sales calls, interviews or one-on-ones.

Key benefits:

• No meeting bot since audio is captured on-device, invisible to participants
• Notes enhancement that merges what you typed with what was actually said
• Chat with your meetings to query past decisions and commitments
• Templates for sales calls, user interviews, standups and one-on-ones
• Action item extraction ready to paste into your task tracker
• Works everywhere with Zoom, Meet, Teams and in-person conversations

Granola was founded in London in 2023 and operates from the United Kingdom under UK GDPR. Backed by Index Ventures and valued at 1.5 billion dollars in 2026, it has become the meeting notepad of choice for founders and investors.

Ideal for people in back-to-back meetings who want notes they would actually trust, without sending a bot on their behalf.
