AI Meeting Notes

Granola

Granola captures computer or phone audio without a meeting bot. It expands typed notes into full notes, action items, and follow-ups.

The 30-Second Take

Pick Granola for bot-free meeting notes, once your company has a consent rule.

It transcribes your device's audio and, when the meeting ends, turns the transcript and your typed lines into notes you can query later. A proposed class action filed in July 2026 tests that bot-free design.

Best fit
Leaders, managers, and customer-facing teams who run many video and in-person meetings a week.
Main constraint
No bot means no automatic notice, so telling participants is each user's job unless an Enterprise admin enforces Granola's notices.
First move
Set link sharing, training opt-out, and the meeting-chat notice for your pilot group before anyone captures a customer call.

Why

Watch the consent: nothing in the call announces Granola, so the person recording has to tell participants. One company has banned it for that reason, and below Enterprise the consent notice, training opt-out and link sharing are each user's settings.

Comparisons

How does Granola compare with the alternatives?

See all 4 comparisons

  1. Granola vs Notion AI

    • AI Meeting Notes

    Choose Notion AI Meeting Notes when decisions already live in Notion, and Granola when people want one notepad across every meeting app. Both capture meetings without a bot: Granola from a standalone app on every plan, Notion from its desktop app on Business and Enterprise. Granola sends notes to Notion one at a time.

  2. Granola vs Otter

    • AI Meeting Notes

    A team that needs a replayable record picks Otter, and people who want their own notes pick Granola. Granola keeps no recording and builds notes around what you type. Otter keeps audio for playback, imports recorded files, and can send a notetaker to meetings you skip, at US$30 a Business seat billed monthly against US$14 for Granola.

  3. Granola vs Microsoft Copilot

    • AI Meeting Notes

    Copilot in Teams summarizes and transcribes Teams meetings inside Microsoft 365. Granola captures device audio with no bot across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in-person meetings, from US$14 per user per month. Copilot is the simpler buy when meetings already live in Teams and people use Copilot beyond meetings.

  1. Assist

    1. AI assistant: Touches

      AI assistant, touches. Granola Chat answers questions about the user's own meetings, and Claude, ChatGPT, and other assistants can query Granola notes through its MCP server. Open-ended drafting and research stay with a general assistant.

  2. Find

    1. Web research: Touches

      Web research, touches. Pre-meeting briefs on Business and Enterprise pull some context from the web, while cited research on the public web belongs to a research tool.

    2. Enterprise search: Supports

      Enterprise search, supports. Notes are searchable, and Granola Chat answers questions across past meetings, folders, and shared spaces. That covers meeting history only, so search across the company's other apps stays with an enterprise search product.

  3. Create

    1. Documents: Supports

      Documents, supports. Paid plans draft follow-up emails in Gmail, and the Notion integration sends notes one at a time to a Notion database. The team's documents and wiki stay in those tools.

    2. Meeting notes: Core

      Meeting notes, core. Granola transcribes device audio from Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in-person meetings without a bot. When the meeting ends, it combines the transcript with the user's typed lines into notes with action items and follow-ups.

  4. Analyze

    1. Data analysis: Touches

      Data analysis, touches. Meeting notes reach CRM records through the HubSpot, Attio, and Affinity integrations. Analysis of structured data stays with an analytics tool.

  5. Automate

    1. Automation: Supports

      Automation, supports. Built-in integrations post notes to Slack and attach them to CRM records, and the Zapier integration reaches 8,000+ apps. Multi-step automation runs in Zapier or a tool like it.
