Granola
The AI notepad for back-to-back meetings
What is Granola?
Granola is a bot-free AI notepad that transcribes your meetings silently in the background while you stay present in the conversation. You jot down rough notes as you would normally, and Granola enhances them into polished, structured summaries with action items after the call ends. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and even in-person conversations — no bot ever joins the room.
🇦🇺 How Melbourne businesses are using Granola:
Melbourne consultants, lawyers, clinic managers, and agency owners running back-to-back meetings can finally capture accurate notes without the awkwardness of a recording bot announcing itself to clients. Ideal for professional services firms where discretion and follow-through are everything.

Our Take
Granola stands out because it never awkwardly announces itself to the room — clients don''t see a bot join, and the transcription happens locally on your device. For Melbourne professional services businesses where trust and discretion matter, that''s a meaningful difference from tools like Otter.ai. At $14/month for the Business plan, it''s easy to justify against the hours saved on post-meeting write-ups.
