Granola
TOP FEATURES · 8
F01
Bot-Free TranscriptionaudioGranola captures audio directly from your computer's system audio rather than joining calls as a bot. This means no bot notification to other participants and compatibility with every meeting platform — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, and in-person meetings — without platform-specific setup for each.
F02
AI-Enhanced NotepadeditingWrite raw, shorthand notes during a meeting, then let Granola's AI transform them into polished, structured summaries after the call ends. The AI incorporates both your notes and the full transcript to produce organized output with decisions, action items, and key details — without replacing your active meeting presence with passive recording.
F03
Granola ChataiAn AI chat interface that has access to your full meeting history and work context. Ask questions across any past meeting, extract action items, draft follow-up emails, generate specs, and get briefings on upcoming meetings — from a single interface that understands your entire meeting narrative without manually searching transcripts.
F04
Customizable Note TemplatestemplateDefine structured templates for recurring meeting types — stand-ups, 1-on-1s, user interviews, sales calls, board meetings. Granola applies the template structure when auto-enhancing notes, ensuring consistent output format for meetings of the same type across your organization.
F05
Shared Folders and Team CollaborationcollaborationOrganize meeting notes into shared folders and collaborate with teammates on the same note library. Notes, transcripts, and templates can be shared across the team, enabling collaborative post-meeting review and institutional memory across the organization.
F06
iPhone App with Mobile TranscriptionmobileA dedicated iPhone app that brings Granola's AI note-taking to in-person meetings, phone calls, and meetings attended from mobile. Mobile transcription and note access keep meeting capture consistent across all work contexts, not just desktop video calls.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
businessReal-time call insights automatically sync to Salesforce and HubSpot with action items, enabling instant follow-up without manual notes. Reps spend time on deals rather than post-call administration.
teamCross-functional teams get shared transcripts, searchable highlights, and action items in one source of truth. Anyone who missed a meeting can review decisions and next steps without scheduling a catch-up.
individualStay fully engaged in calls while Fathom captures details, leaving hands free to take notes only on strategic points. Reduces cognitive load during important conversations and eliminates post-call admin.
Sales reps and account executivesSales professionals use Granola to capture everything said in discovery calls, demos, and QBRs without managing a bot or manually taking notes. After each call, AI-enhanced notes structure key pain points, objections, and agreed next steps. Granola Chat can then draft follow-up emails and CRM entries directly from the meeting context, and notes sync automatically to HubSpot, Attio, Salesforce, or Affinity via native integrations.
Product managers and UX researchersPMs use Granola to keep clean records of daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, stakeholder syncs, and user research sessions. The template system lets them define consistent structures for recurring meeting types (e.g., 1-on-1s, user interviews, roadmap reviews), and Granola Chat surfaces action items and decisions across meetings when preparing roadmap updates or reports.
