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.
businessA sales team uses the Fireflies.ai bot to join and transcribe every sales call across Zoom and Teams. After each call, Conversation Intelligence features extract talk-time ratios, identify key topics, and flag sentiment shifts. Action items sync automatically to Salesforce and HubSpot contact and opportunity records through native integrations. AskFred lets reps query past call content before follow-ups, retrieving specific context from previous conversations without re-listening to recordings.
enterpriseHiring teams use the Fireflies.ai bot to capture and transcribe candidate interviews recorded in Google Meet or Teams. Transcripts and summaries attach directly to candidate records in Greenhouse or Lever through native ATS integrations. AI Summarization extracts structured notes including key questions asked and interviewer observations. Teams can search across all candidate interviews to compare responses or recall specific answers months after recording.
teamRemote and hybrid teams configure Fireflies.ai to automatically join recurring meetings and deliver structured summaries to attendees and Slack channels via the Slack native integration. Meeting Analytics provide talk-time visibility and topic tracking across all team calls. AskFred lets any team member retrieve decisions, commitments, or context from past meetings by asking a direct question, reducing meeting re-runs when teams need prior context. Soundbites highlight key moments for async review.
