Granola makes an AI-powered notepad for professionals who spend their days in back-to-back meetings. Unlike competitors that drop a visible bot into Zoom or Teams calls, Granola captures audio directly from the user's device — locally, in real time — and immediately deletes the raw audio after processing. The user types rough notes during the meeting, and Granola's AI enhances them with context from the transcript afterward. The result is clean, structured notes without the awkwardness or privacy concerns of a bot attendee. What started as a Mac-only solo productivity tool has grown into a shared team workspace ("Spaces") with folder organization, custom note templates ("Recipes"), an MCP server for AI agent integrations, and an enterprise API for org-wide context management. It now runs on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Apple Watch. Customers are predominantly US-based tech companies — including Vercel, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon, DoorDash, Gusto, and Salesforce — with the product typically adopted virally, starting with a senior leader and spreading across teams.
