Hi PH! Excited to hunt Granola, the AI-powered notepad that’s launching today. Most meeting note tools rely on bots that generate unhelpful, cookie-cutter summaries. Granola is a notepad app for your computer that combines your written notes with details from the transcript to create notes so good, you’ll actually use them. The team is on standby to answer your questions — don't hesitate to reach out!

A few people asking if it's Google only, another one here. I have fudged it by linking my work O365 to Google but not ideal.

This is a freaking awesome concept. I rarely take the time to write PH comments, but this is so helpful it makes me want to go out of my way to help it win.

Love everything about this - I've been waiting for somebody to get AI note taking "right" for a while. You guys are standing above the rest. ~ Just a couple notes: I had to wrangle my O365 calendar into my Google calendar to actually use this - how close is the Microsoft integration? And SOC2 compliance is going to prevent me from implementing this in my enterprise, is that in the crosshairs yet? I really think you should answer both of these questions on your front page.

Excited to see Granola, the AI notepad perfect for those endless meetings. Seamlessly blends notes and smart transcription for ultimate efficiency.

Granola’s context-aware assistance with GPT-4 integration is like having a smart assistant during every meeting. Congrats on this impressive launch, Sam!

By combining handwritten notes with smart transcription, it ensures that every detail is captured accurately, making it an essential tool for anyone in back-to-back meetings. Congratulations on the launch. 🚀🚀🚀

The AI-powered notepad is a brilliant innovation for managing back-to-back meetings. The smart transcription feature is a standout. Excited to see how it improves my workflow!

Asks me to sign in with my work calendar. Is it only google calendar for now? If my work calendar is on outlook can I still use it?

Granola is the only product in this category that *just works*. No random bot in your call and instead of a huge transcript you get notes as if you had taken them. It works like a dream. The design is thoughtful and it loads up lightning fast. Once I'd got used to it I was relying on it in every meeting. The two slight drawbacks are (1) it's Mac-only (2) it takes getting used to. I initially used it with my old approach (writing all the notes myself). It was when I allowed Granola to do most of the work, and only wrote down what was important myself, that it started to flow. After that point, it was indispensable.

Been using Granola since last week. After trying all the other note-taking meeting apps, I've finally found something that works perfectly. I like how it lets me do prenotes ahead of time, and then jot down things as required, but leave the majority of the work to AI. And no annoying meeting bot. Plus point that it's beautiful. Happy user!

It's been amazing to see Granola grow organically @zinc. It's become a verb here: "are you Granolaing this?"

A few days ago, I saw a product that solves similar issues, but I will choose to try this Granola. Because this product looks more comprehensive, and I prefer the overall design. I also really like the name and logo. Is there any story behind them that you can share?

Huge Granola fan! The product has changed my work life and made me infinitely more productive - it's the best AI Notepad / Notetaker I've used and the team are epic at taking onboard feedback and helping out.

Been testing Granola (and a few other similar apps) and have been really impressed with the quality of notes that get generated by Granola. They are noticeably better than anything else I have used. Great work!

Congratulations on the launch of Granola! Excited to see how this AI-powered notepad transforms the note-taking experience, seamlessly blending personal insights with smart transcription.

This is the best productivity tool I've used in a long time - it has been my secret weapon with back to back founder meetings, and it just gets better and better every week. Best part - throw this at your colleague(s) that are terrible note takers and you get instant value, they like it too!

I love Granola because the user interface is extremely intuitive and it runs seamlessly in the background. This app is a game-changer for my workflow. It's saving me so much time and actually making me more productive, efficient, and effective. The team behind Granola, Sam, Jo, Chris, and Vas, are fantastic. They're thoughtful about how they build the product and always keep the consumer in mind. I'm really excited to see where they take it. Can't wait to see the future updates!
