Granola

What it is

Granola is an audio-transcription and meeting notepad built for people managing back-to-back video calls, phone conversations, and in-person chats. Instead of injecting a virtual meeting bot into your calls, the software runs locally on your device to capture audio and compile notes personal to you.

Key features

• Bot-free audio capture utilizing your device's native sound input
• Automatic pre-meeting briefs sync with calendar events to provide background context
• Built-in AI chat that understands past meeting notes and ongoing projects
• Customized note templates and multi-language support
• Integrations with Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Zapier, and standard calendar apps
• Model training opt-out settings and strict transcript retention controls

Who it's for

Granola is designed for executives, sales representatives, product managers, and team leads who spend considerable time in daily discussions and need reliable ways to track action items without manual transcription.

Pricing

Granola offers a free Basic plan with limited history, alongside a Business plan at fourteen dollars per user per month and an Enterprise plan at thirty-five dollars per user per month.
