What is Granola?

Granola works like a notepad during meetings. You jot down quick notes, while it listens to your computer's audio in the background. Afterwards it combines your notes with the transcript into clear, structured notes.

Because no bot joins the call, it feels less intrusive for guests. You should still let participants know you are transcribing.
