It's the stickiest product I've ever used. I now rely on it, heavily, for note taking during meetings. Couldn't live without it.

Very impressive about Granola, but failed to setup it on my Mac. Also didn't find any contact points (website and app) to share my problem.

Incredible product and my new must-have for work productivity. Easy to use, clean, simple. Helps me focus on my meetings and not on taking notes (and the responses are leaps better than Zoom AI's Assistant). I can easily share notes with others and return to them later to ask additional questions. It is really a terrific product.

Great for local and smart note taking. I feel more like the AI is helping me write notes, as opposed to it writing it all.

I've been using it with my Google Workspace account, but wanted my wife to use it, but their org uses Microsoft Outlook and trying to hook it to her personal Gmail account failed. This is a must-solve issue for the product to fully take off. Personally I've had a great experience and does the notetaking and summarizing really well!

Granola is incredibly handy! I love how 'smart' the notes feel—concise, well-structured, and free of unnecessary repetition. It really helps me stay focused on conversations without losing track of key action points. For people who have non-stop meetings with repetitive focus, it's a blessing.

I totally love the clean user interface that Granola has put together! It keeps things neat and feels a lot like the sleek vibe of Notion. Plus, I really dig how it gives a summary of the transcript when I hit the zoom icon. That feature is super handy for getting user feedback based on how I use it!

I have tried many top conference recording products, including Zoom, Otter.ai, Outreach, Fathom, Chorus, Gong, and several others. However, I find that Granola Web and Mobile is far superior for taking notes and creating transcripts for several reasons: - It works seamlessly across all conference software. - It doesn’t record, so there's no need to interrupt attendees. - It takes accurate notes. - For in-person meetings, the mobile app is just as precise as the web version. - They now offer folders to help keep notes better organized. Overall, the value of Granola far exceeds its price.

Has changed my workflow. No more Ai Notetakers getting added to meetings, it sits on my desktop and doesn't have to integrate with anything - it just lives. For back-to-back meetings it's helped so much and I ensure I say what the tasks are for everyone in the meeting and next steps then Granola helps me craft emails and tasks for my team so much faster than me taking notes in the meetings. Can't live without it at this point.

I found Granola about 3 weeks ago and now consider it a staple in my Project Management tool-kit. The fact that it doesn't join a meeting, rather uses my computer speaker to record means I never miss out on capturing any important info. I've just downloaded it to mobile and had my first in person meeting today - My client said "you're not taking notes" to which I said "no i'm not, but granola is". She downloaded it on the spot! Highly recommend if you're looking for a way to stay organized and want actionable items from any meeting.
