Granola

Granola is a desktop AI notepad for Mac and Windows built for professionals who sit in back-to-back meetings and need reliable notes, transcripts, and follow-ups without a meeting bot joining the call.

Key capabilities include:

• Bot-free audio capture that records your computer’s audio directly, then generates a transcript with timestamps and speaker diarization (reported up to 95% accuracy)
• AI-enhanced notes that clean up plain-text notes after the meeting by correcting typos, expanding shorthand, and structuring content into clear prose
• Post-meeting outputs that extract action items, decisions, and deadlines, and can help draft follow-up emails
• Team workflows such as collaborative notes, shared folders, hyperlinked notes, custom templates (including Markdown-style prompting), calendar sync, and AI chat within and across meetings
• Integrations on higher plans, including Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Zapier, Attio, Affinity

Pricing: Freemium with tiers, Basic ($0/user/month), Business ($14/user/month), Enterprise ($35/user/month). Some plans include a 14-day free trial.

Notable for its no-bot approach to meeting capture, plus a workflow that combines the user’s own notes with an AI transcript to create a searchable memory across meetings.
