X post on Granola with ChatGPT and TodoistX post
Granola captures the conversation, a ChatGPT agent pulls out his promises, and Todoist tracks them.
"The worst part of a great meeting is the 30 minutes of admin after it. So I automated it. Granola captures the conversation, my ChatGPT Dot pulls out what I promised, Todoist tracks it, and the follow-up email is drafted before I sit down."

At a company running Granola, Gong and Aircover, Granola transcribes almost instantly and keeps adding features.
"+1 for Granola. My company uses Granola, Gong, and Aircover for transcription - each have their strengths and weaknesses. But Granola transcribes near instantly, is constantly adding features, and can run silently, so it's been my go to all year. The running silent part is questionably legal as I understand though."

Built Claude skills that review the author's email, Granola-captured meetings and Teams messages for tasks.
"Yes, I built a custom app with Claude. I now have several ways to capture tasks. I built some skills in Claude that review my emails, my meetings (via Granola capture), my Teams messages, and I have an MCP in my custom app. I then have tasks created in an inbox that I review daily for action. I also have a shortcut on my watch that creates a task in Reminders, and my custom app scans my reminders every few seconds and adds those items to my task inbox as well. Every time there is something different or if I would have personally done it differently, I update the skill in Claude."

Kinder chose Granola because a notetaker bot felt intrusive on confidential client calls; she asks clients whether they mind Granola running in the background. Her use helped bring 136 of Daversa's roughly 150 employees onto Granola, and staff share takeaways on Slack.
