Granola debuts an AI notepad for meetings | TechCrunch

May 22, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Granola, a startup co-founded by Chris Pedregal and Sam Stephenson, has launched an AI-powered notepad app that combines user-generated notes with AI-created notes based on meeting transcripts. The app, which works by connecting to a user's calendar and transcribing the audio, allows users to write their own notes or bullet points, or leave it all up to the AI. The app works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack, and WebEx and augments user notes with more information, referencing the transcript as it fleshes them out.

Granola's launch was fueled by a $4.25 million funding round led by Lightspeed. The app is free for the first 25 meetings, then costs $10 per month. The startup plans to generate additional revenue with the launches of a team or company plan where pricing may be adjusted. The app is currently available for download on macOS.

Key takeaways:

  • The startup has raised $4.25 million in funding and plans to expand beyond meetings to include tasks like writing memos, filing bug reports, and scheduling follow-ups.
