AI notepad for back-to-back meetings, no meeting bot
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
Granola is an AI notepad that records computer audio instead of joining calls as a bot, then combines it with your own notes to produce structured meeting notes, actions and memory. It works with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and its Basic plan opts out of model training. It is a note tool for meetings, not an inbox or scheduling assistant, and the free plan limits access to notes older than 30 days.
