Granola

Granola is a bot-free AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings: it transcribes using your computer's audio (no bot joins the call), blends your own typed notes with the transcript into polished AI notes, and adds AI chat across your meeting memory. Available on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Apple Watch, it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other platforms, and is expanding into an enterprise context layer with MCP and API access.

Our verdict

Last verified Aug 25, 2026

Category-defining bot-free notepad (notes-plus-transcript blending, meeting memory) with published pricing and huge documented momentum — a $125M Series C at a $1.5B valuation in March 2026; held below the leaders by a smaller integration catalog than Fireflies/Otter, a free tier with limited history, and no established review-site footprint (scored on documented adoption).
