Granola
Granola is an AI notepad for meetings. Its own page says it uses your computer’s audio so it does not invite a bot, enhances the notes you take, and works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and other meeting apps.
What Granola does
- Takes notes alongside the meeting and enhances them, using your computer’s audio, so no bot joins the call.
- Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and every other meeting app, on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.
- Keeps notes private by default and makes them easy to share if you choose.
- Has a Granola app for Apple Watch, which its page announces as new.
