Granola is an AI notepad for meetings that transcribes audio locally on your device and, when you hit 'Generate Notes', turns it into structured summaries with action items, decisions, and key quotes linked back to the transcript. Unlike most tools, it never joins calls as a bot; it captures system audio in the background and discards the recording afterward, keeping only the transcript and notes. It is aimed at people in back-to-back meetings, particularly client-facing roles, who want clean notes without a bot announcing itself on the call.
