Granola takes meeting notes without a bot joining the call

So you can actually listen and still leave with clean notes.

The problem

Note-taker bots make clients uneasy, and typing notes during a call means you only half-listen.

What it is, what it does

Granola records audio from your own device instead of sending a bot into the call, then combines your rough notes with the transcript to write tidy meeting notes. Paid plans add follow-up emails and integrations like Notion and HubSpot.

Workflow

1. 1Install the Granola desktop or phone app and connect your calendar
2. 2Jot a few rough notes during the meeting while Granola captures your device audio (no bot joins)
3. 3After the call, Granola turns your notes and the transcript into clean notes using your template
4. 4Ask its AI chat for action items or decisions across past meetings, and share notes to a folder or Slack
