Granola

A meeting-notes app that records your calls, transcribes them, and writes a clean summary you can actually search later. The raw material every meeting-driven workflow starts from.

What it is

Granola runs quietly in the background during your calls (Zoom, Meet, in-person), captures the transcript, and produces a structured summary without a bot joining the meeting. The transcripts and summaries become a searchable record of everything that was said.

Why CEOs care

Your calendar is your richest, least-used data source. Granola turns every meeting into text, and text is what an AI harness can read. Once your meetings land as markdown, you can ask your last quarter of calls anything, draft follow-ups automatically, and keep your CRM honest, none of which is possible while the substance lives only in your memory.

When you'll encounter it

At the front of nearly every meeting-driven workflow on this site. It's the capture layer; Claude Code is the reasoning layer that sits on top of it.

Example

Andrew exports his Granola transcripts to a notes folder, then points Claude Code at it: pre-meeting briefs, weekly team updates, and pipeline hygiene all generate from that one feed.
