Granola is an AI notepad that captures meetings via computer and microphone audio without a meeting bot, then enhances the user's own shorthand notes into full meeting notes once the call ends. It offers AI chat across meetings, pre-meeting briefs, saved prompt 'Recipes', and integrations with calendars, CRMs, and issue trackers. Audio is transcribed and then deleted rather than stored.
