Tool profile
Granola AI
Granola is a Mac desktop app that captures your meeting audio in the background and uses AI to generate structured, editable notes after the call ends. It works with any conferencing tool — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or even in-person meetings — without joining as a bot. You write sparse notes during the meeting if you want, and Granola enhances them into a full summary.
Models and pricing
Trying out Granola before committing
Good for evaluating whether the note quality and workflow fit you, but the meeting cap means it is not viable long-term for frequent meeting-goers.
Individual professionals who attend meetings daily
Removes the meeting cap, adds custom note templates, and gives access to a panel where you can ask follow-up questions about any past meeting. This is the plan most individual users will land on.
Small teams who want shared note access and collaborative features
Adds team-level features such as shared templates and potentially shared meeting libraries. If your whole team is using Granola, this tier is worth investigating, but pricing transparency is limited.
Which model should you use?
Most individual users should start on the free plan to test quality, then move to Pro if they attend more than a handful of meetings per week — the no-bot approach alone makes it worth the cost compared to tools like Otter or Fireflies for people who find meeting bots awkward.
