Granola

Overview

A note taking app for meetings that listens in the background, combines your typed notes with what it heard, and produces a clean summary afterward. No bot joins the call.

General use

Founders, investors, and sales people use it to capture meeting notes and action items without typing everything themselves.

Insight

The nice part is that no bot joins the call: it listens on your machine and cleans up your notes afterward, which feels less intrusive to the other side. It works best if you jot rough notes during the meeting, so it is not fully hands-off. It is Mac focused and still young, so it has gaps. Best for back-to-back meetings where you still want to pay attention in the room.
