Granola
AI notepad that turns live meeting audio into structured, shareable notes without a bot joining the call.
Last verified:
Granola is an AI notepad, founded in 2023 by Chris Pedregal and Sam Stephenson and headquartered in London, that transcribes meeting audio directly from the user's computer (no recording bot) and enhances raw notes into structured summaries, action items, and briefs. It raised a $125M Series C in 2025 at a $1.5B valuation (roughly $192M raised to date), with customers including Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack, and Asana. Granola ships a public REST API and an official hosted MCP server (mcp.granola.ai) so AI agents can query meeting notes and transcripts directly, and sells Basic and Business plans self-serve while Enterprise (SSO, SCIM, admin controls) requires talking to sales.
