Granola Recipe

A saved, repeatable prompt in Granola that runs the same way against every meeting. Instead of re-typing "pull out the action items and decisions" after each call, you build the instruction once as a Recipe and it applies automatically. The feature that turns Granola from a notetaker into a consistent processor.

What it is

A Recipe is a reusable template you define once: the questions to answer, the format to return, the rubric to score against. Run it on any meeting (or across several at once) and you get the same structured output every time. Granola shipped this in late 2025; it is what lets you standardize how every call gets turned into something usable.

Why CEOs care

Because consistency is the whole game in any meeting-driven workflow. A hiring scorecard only works if every candidate is scored against the same rubric; a weekly update only works if every call is summarized the same way. A Recipe enforces that. Build the rubric once, and every interview or customer call comes out comparable instead of a pile of one-off notes in different shapes.

Where you'll see it

In the interview-scorecard workflow, where a Recipe keyed to your competency rubric scores every candidate the same way, and anywhere you process meetings at volume.

Example

A CEO builds one hiring Recipe ("score 1-5 on communication, judgment, ownership; cite a verbatim quote for each") and runs it on every panel interview. Four interviewers' vague impressions become one comparable scorecard per candidate.
