Granola

Granola is an AI meeting summarization tool that automatically generates summaries and notes from recorded meetings, calls, and video conferences. Meetings generate valuable information-decisions, action items, discussions, and outcomes-yet capturing this information accurately traditionally requires dedicated note-taking that divides attention between listening and writing. After meetings, manually creating summaries from memory or recordings is time-consuming, and important details are frequently lost. Granola addresses this challenge by automatically recording meetings and generating AI-powered summaries highlighting key discussion points, decisions made, and action items identified. The tool integrates with calendar and video conferencing systems, automatically joining and recording meetings when scheduled. After meetings conclude, summaries become available immediately, allowing quick catch-up and action item distribution. For teams managing numerous meetings, Granola ensures consistent, complete documentation without depending on attendees to remember details.

How It Works

Using Granola involves authorizing the tool to access your calendar and video conferencing account. When meetings occur, Granola automatically joins and begins recording. As the meeting progresses, the AI transcribes conversation and analyzes discussion in real-time. After the meeting concludes, the platform automatically generates a summary highlighting key topics, decisions reached, action items identified, and important discussion points. The summary is delivered through email or messaging integration, allowing quick access without waiting for processing. You can review the full transcript if needed, with searchable text making it easy to locate specific discussion points. For recurring meetings, Granola tracks decisions and action items over time, showing evolution and follow-up on previous decisions.
