Granola is an AI meeting notepad built by the London-based startup of the same name, valued at $1.5 billion in 2026. The app captures audio directly from your computer, with no visible bot in the call, then merges your raw notes with the transcript to produce polished meeting summaries. This discretion, along with the central role given to your own notes, sets it apart from traditional meeting recorders.
Download the app from granola.ai (macOS, Windows or iOS) and connect your Google or Outlook calendar. When a meeting starts, Granola captures your computer's audio without joining the call. Take notes freely during the discussion: when it ends, the AI enriches them with the transcript and generates a structured summary, ready to share or send to Notion, Slack or your CRM.

Yes, the Basic plan is free: AI notes, chat, shared folders and custom templates are included, but the searchable meeting history is limited. For unlimited history, advanced integrations and API access, you need to upgrade to the Business plan at $14 per user per month.
Unlike those tools, Granola never sends a bot into the call: it captures audio directly from your computer, invisibly to the other participants. It also focuses on merging your own notes with the transcript rather than simply recording. The trade-off is that it doesn't capture video and requires the desktop or iOS app (no web or Android version).
