Granola

AI notepad for meetings — runs locally alongside any call

Granola sits quietly in the background during any call and produces a clean summary when you're done. Unlike meeting bots that join as a separate participant, it captures system audio directly, so there's no awkward "Granola is recording this meeting" moment. The summaries are structured and accurate enough that I rarely feel the need to go back to a recording.

What I find most useful is the notes layer — you can jot brief thoughts during a call and Granola weaves them into the output. It's a genuinely good example of AI that improves a workflow without interrupting it.
