I'm a big fan of Granola (I may or may not play janitor in their community Slack for reasons I can't exactly articulate!), and am super excited about their 2.0 launch.
Here's the update, along with a cool $43 million Series B, led by @natfriedman and @danicgross from NFDG, along with @mignano from Lightspeed and @nabeel from Spark:
Your company’s new collective brain: Shared team folders
Create folders for Sales Calls, Customer Feedback, Hiring Loops, Weekly Syncs and more.
Share a URL so anyone on your team (even without a Granola account) can read notes and chat with the AI.
Granola analyzes every transcript in the set and cites the exact lines, so your team moves from anecdotes to evidence in seconds.
Instant Project Folders — drag, drop, done
Need a quick workspace for a fundraise, feature launch, or customer deep-dive? Select a few meetings → drag into a new folder → invite collaborators. Everyone sees the same timeline and source-linked chat without a single copy-paste.
Chat with folders
Ask a question, write a memo, get an analysis or spot themes… Chat with folders to uncover insights from across multiple meetings. Every AI answer comes with inline citations and a jump-to-source link, so facts stay anchored to reality.
Best-in-class reasoning models — fully in your control
To pull out the most value from meetings notes and transcripts, we’re adding support for top models across providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc). We’re specifically adding support for reasoning models, which we’ve found to be able to do detailed analysis across large numbers of meetings. Leave Granola on Auto to pick the strongest option for long-range reasoning, or switch the dropdown to your favourite model whenever you like.
Browse folders across your company
Business & Enterprise users can open the new Browse view and hop into any public folder inside the domain — perfect for competitive intel, customer success, or onboarding new hires.
Smart suggestions: one-click organisation (soon)
Right after a meeting ends, Granola predicts the best folder based on title, participants, and past behaviour. One tap to accept; no more orphaned notes.
Slack auto-posting — keep the whole team in the loop
Connect a channel once and Granola posts concise summaries, action items, and a “Chat with this meeting” button the moment the call ends. Teammates who’ve never opened Granola still stay up-to-date in the tool they check all day.
Folder templates
Pick User Research, Sales Pipeline, or Interview Loop and Granola pre-loads folder structure, permissions, and starter chat prompts so your team knows exactly how to use it on Day 1.
