Granola - The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings

Hi PH! Excited to hunt Granola, the AI-powered notepad that’s launching today. Most meeting note tools rely on bots that generate unhelpful, cookie-cutter summaries. Granola is a notepad app for your computer that combines your written notes with details from the transcript to create notes so good, you’ll actually use them. The team is on standby to answer your questions — don't hesitate to reach out!

Big fan of Granola. Unlike other meeting note takers, Granola uses your system audio (on Mac) so you can use it regardless of whether you use Zoom, Google Meet, or even Facetime! And the quality of the notes are much better than I've seen elsewhere. Very impressed so far!

Asks me to sign in with my work calendar. Is it only google calendar for now? If my work calendar is on outlook can I still use it?

I love Granola because the user interface is extremely intuitive and it runs seamlessly in the background. This app is a game-changer for my workflow. It's saving me so much time and actually making me more productive, efficient, and effective. The team behind Granola, Sam, Jo, Chris, and Vas, are fantastic. They're thoughtful about how they build the product and always keep the consumer in mind. I'm really excited to see where they take it. Can't wait to see the future updates!

A few days ago, I saw a product that solves similar issues, but I will choose to try this Granola. Because this product looks more comprehensive, and I prefer the overall design. I also really like the name and logo. Is there any story behind them that you can share?

great team! lvoe the product

👋 Hello Product Hunt Community! We’re thrilled to introduce Granola: the AI-powered notepad for meetings. What is Granola?❓ Granola is a deceptively simple notepad for meetings. It works like a regular notepad, except it also listens to your meeting. When the meeting ends, it uses your notes and what it’s heard to write fantastic notes for you. Granola analyzes who is in the meeting, their roles, and what you’re trying to achieve. It understands the different contexts of job interviews, sales calls, and investor pitches and structures your notes accordingly. Why Granola? 🤔 Unlike AI meeting bots, Granola notes are still your notes. Granola starts with what you’ve written, cleans it up, and fleshes it out. This means you end up with notes that you can trust and others can understand, with a fraction of the effort. Using Granola drastically reduces the time you spend writing and cleaning up notes, freeing you to be more present and focused on what matters. Key Features ⭐️ 📝 Your notes + AI = beautiful notes: Jot down key points and let Granola handle the details, so you can stay pay attention to the meeting, not the keyboard. 💼 Context-Aware Summaries: Granola tailors your notes based on the type of meeting—whether it’s a job interview, sales call, or investor pitch. 🔍 Clear Differentiation: Your input is shown in black, while AI-generated content is in gray for easy distinction. 📋 Structured Notes: Granola automatically adds hierarchy and structure, with the flexibility to format notes as you prefer. 🔎 Transparency: Use the “Zoom In” feature to see the exact quotes your notes are based on. 🌐 GPT-4 Integration: Built-in OpenAI’s GPT-4o for additional context-aware assistance and tasks. Our Mission At Granola, our mission is to build tools that elevate you to do your best work. We want your relationship with AI to be that of a conductor conducting an orchestra. We see a future where AI augments your abilities in incredible ways, while always keeping you in control. We’re excited to hear what you think and are here to answer any questions you might have. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve and evolve. Thank you for your support! https://granola.so The Granola Team

Lazy note-takers, rejoice!

Love everything about this - I've been waiting for somebody to get AI note taking "right" for a while. You guys are standing above the rest. ~ Just a couple notes: I had to wrangle my O365 calendar into my Google calendar to actually use this - how close is the Microsoft integration? And SOC2 compliance is going to prevent me from implementing this in my enterprise, is that in the crosshairs yet? I really think you should answer both of these questions on your front page.

A few people asking if it's Google only, another one here. I have fudged it by linking my work O365 to Google but not ideal.
