Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Granola to take structured notes during meetings without having a bot join your video calls. It captures audio directly from your computer and combines your typed notes with the transcript to produce clean summaries and action items. Before calls, Granola builds quick briefing documents based on past discussions and calendar events. Afterward, you can chat with your meeting history, draft follow-up emails, and connect your notes to other AI tools via its MCP connector across desktop and mobile devices.
