Granola

Granola sits quietly during your video calls and produces the meeting notes you would have written if you had time. The design choice that sets it apart is that it does not replace your typing, it augments it: you jot shorthand notes during the call, and Granola fills in the gaps using the full transcript and your own prior meetings as context. No bot joins the call, no separate recording surface, just the Mac app listening to system audio. For anyone taking calls that generate follow-ups, the difference between Granola and a generic transcription tool is the difference between a searchable log and an actual summary you can send. The free tier covers light use; the paid tier is priced for solo operators and small teams.
