What people previously said about Granola

“I use Granola to transcribe meetings. No bot needed in the meetings. It gives you summaries and the full transcript.”

“Moved 6 years of OneNote content to markdown and log all my meetings with a combo of types and Granola AI notes. It provides a ton of the context to Claude for client work.”

“Salesforce. HubSpot. Gong. Clay. Granola. That is not a feature drop. That is how a viral agent becomes enterprise software.”

“Granola (7/10)** No bot, Mac-first, and it doesn't replace your notes. It improves the ones you type during the call. On 1:1s where I was typing anyway it produced the cleanest notes of the eight.”

“Granola AI has been the best of what I've tried so far”

“I use it to market your product all the time in AI presentations, and every time I show it as part of my workflow, people come up after asking me to show them the download and setup.”

“I have been using Granola. Fits your points # 1,3. Not sure of points 2 and 4. Do chk it out. I am still on their free plan..”

“For less formal, audio-only meetings, I just use Granola.”

“Competitors which I am include: - Microsoft Copilot (in OneNote) - Granola with Apple Watch App - Boya Notra”

“3 edtech (see profile) + meeting recording/transcription service similar to granola (meetingsidekick)”

“There are options like granola that can record without putting a bot in the meeting. Or like others are suggesting you can build your own solution or look for open source.”

“Apple is coming for AI gadgets like Bee—and note-taking apps like Granola—with Apple Intelligence summaries and Live Rewind on Apple Watch. So many questions about how Apple is doing this and how you trigger the mics...”

“Apple releasing a Granola clone wasn't on my list, huh”

“u/Cosmonaut_17 oh good to know, does granola actually process locally or does the audio still go to their servers, just without the visible bot joining?”

“Granola, which doesn’t have to join the meeting”

“I use Granola for my meeting notes - love it”

“otter and granola both do speaker labels and per-person action items, but before paying for either i'd just record one meeting with voice memos, run it through whisper, and ask an llm to split it by speaker. costs nothing and tells you whether your bottleneck is the model or the audio.”

“Granola is the AI notepad for meetings. And now with its Apple Watch app, you can take notes in person without a laptop, or a phone.”

“With @meetgranola, your notes are AI-summarised and waiting in the app before the next session starts.”

“3) Granola - AI note-taking / transcription”

“granola did it by background”

“Then there's the whole AI note taker/recorder side with stuff like Plaud, Otter, Notta, Granola, Fathom etc.”

“Granola is awesome!”

“I use granola. It doesn’t join meetings; it just listens from the system sound. There is a chrome extension that will capture names on google meet meetings but I don’t think it works for teams or zoom.”

“Since you already use Wispr Flow every day, I'd keep it only if it saves enough time to make the overlap worthwhile. Granola does something different, so I wouldn't treat them as substitutes.”

“Granola”

“Granola is on Windows too”

“From the list, I've been using Wispr Flow, Granola and Notion pretty much daily. I've used Lovable and Supabase on an as-needed basis and Google AI weekly.”

“Yes Granola Apple Watch is the only reason I can’t switch completely to Wispr flow. Note taker is great, if we can have native Apple Watch, it’s a real competitor to Granola Apple Watch”

“Granola has a watch app it seems to work well.”

“Wispr Flow charges you monthly to turn your voice into text. Granola charges you monthly to transcribe your meetings.”

“Granola has a free plan but keeps 30 days of notes only.”

“A friend loves Granola. I thought he was joking when I heard the name.”

“Alternatively you can use apps like Granola or Fireflies to capture meeting audio through your computer.”

“I use an app called Granola and I don't take a single note anymore.”

“Ya just don’t use granola “me said” and “they said” are quiet context killers”

“My team uses granola. The transcripts are really bad. Can I tap into which tool you’re using?”

“Ask your IT to implement granola. Records and helps clean up notes”

“Granola is indispensable. Cora is stupid af.”

“Assume you are being recorded on every meeting with granola”

“Second this. Life saver granola”

“Try downloading Granola. AI notetaker.”

“Also every product asks for my Gmail Calendar Notion Granola Github Slack....”

“Depends on what kind of restrictions you have, but I’ve really liked Granola and it has a solid MCP connector to integrate with Claude.”

“Granola is probably the closest thing to it and it also doesn’t use a meeting bot, but its transcription and AI processing use external providers.”

“Easy 1 click for meeting notes - be it virtual meeting (easy with fathom, granola) or in person meeting (pocket or plaud) or even in person name card exchange, or phone calls (pocket / plaud as well?)”

“I trust my version the most, but back it up/fact check it/ensure I have no omissions with both Zoom and Granola.”

“granola just got steamrolled”

“I also use an app called granola to record the whole meeting. I drop both of those things into Claude.”
