About Granola

Granola is a desktop meeting assistant designed for people who already take notes. Unlike Otter / Fireflies, it doesn't join your call as a bot — it listens via your mic and combines your typed notes with AI-extracted detail. Loved by product managers and consultants who want structured output without bot awkwardness.

Key features

  • No bot joins the call (silent capture)
  • Combines your notes with AI transcript
  • Templates per meeting type
  • Shareable, editable summaries
  • Mac and Windows desktop apps

Pros & limitations

Pros

  • Best UX for note-takers (vs bot transcribers)
  • No awkward 'Otter has joined' moments
  • Templates speed up recurring meetings

Limitations

  • Desktop-only (no mobile yet)
  • Doesn't capture remote-only audio if you're the host
