Granola is an AI-powered meeting notepad that transcribes and summarizes conversations without joining calls as a bot. It works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other platforms. Users can take their own notes during meetings, which Granola combines with its AI transcription to generate structured summaries, action items, and follow-ups. It syncs with your calendar to automatically detect meetings, and includes an AI chat feature that lets you ask questions about past conversations.
