Granola

Granola is a productivity tool built for business meetings. Its core idea is simple: during a call you should be listening, not typing, so the app uses AI to convert the conversation into rich, searchable memories afterward. That means decisions, action items, and context end up in a record you can actually find again instead of scattered across notebooks. The tool works with various meeting applications, so it does not demand that you change how you meet. It is targeted at business professionals and teams who spend their days in calls. The product is currently free to download, and the company has indicated that a paid enterprise version may be priced in the future. For teams, the value compounds: a shared record means someone who missed the call can catch up without a recap meeting, and decisions stay traceable.

- Capture meeting conversations as searchable notes

- Find decisions and action items from past calls quickly

- Stay focused in the conversation instead of writing

- Share a clean record with teammates after the meeting

- Catch up on a meeting you missed without asking for a summary

- Business professionals in back to back meetings

- Teams that need a shared, searchable record

- Anyone whose notes fall apart while they are listening

- Remote teams spread across time zones

The free download reflects the current stage; the company has said a paid enterprise version may be priced in the future, so features and pricing can shift as the product matures. Recording or transcribing meetings touches other people's consent, and rules about that vary by region and company, so get agreement before you capture a call. Transcription quality depends on audio, accents, and overlapping speech, so review important details before treating a note as final. Test it on internal meetings first before using it with clients, and let participants know a transcript is being made, since that is both polite and often required.
