Granola AI Review - (2026) I Let This AI Take My Meeting Notes… The Results Surprised Me

Friends, meetings often move quickly and by the end it's not always easy to clearly remember the key decisions or next steps. Over time, keeping track of

next steps. Over time, keeping track of discussions and notes across multiple meetings can start taking more effort than the meetings themselves. My name is Daniel and in today's video, we're

looking at how meeting notes can be organized using Granola. It's an AI tool designed to capture conversations and turn them into structured summaries.

We'll see how a meeting turns into clear notes which become action items and how your discussions gradually turn into a searchable knowledge base. Guys, make

Friends, before we go deeper into the workflow, let's quickly understand what Granola actually is. The platform is an AI-powered notepad designed for people

who spend a lot of time in meetings.

Instead of relying on meeting bots or trying to capture every detail manually, the tool works quietly in the background. It transcribes the

background. It transcribes the conversation and combines that transcript with the notes you write during the meeting. The result is a set of structured meeting notes that are much easier to review later. You can

quickly see the key discussion points, decisions, and follow-up tasks without going through the entire conversation again.

Folks, so this is the Granola workspace.

On the left side, you can see where your notes and folders are organized so meetings stay structured in one place. I

want to capture my meeting so I start a quick note and transcribe key points as the conversation progresses. It supports

multiple languages, which is useful for meetings with international teams. Once the meeting is finished, I can ask Granola to generate structured notes from the transcript. The AI organizes

the conversation into a summary with the main topics and discussion points.

Mates, the meeting is automatically divided into sections such as the product roadmap, onboarding improvements, pricing discussions, and integration ideas. This turns raw notes

integration ideas. This turns raw notes and transcripts into something easier to review and work with. If I want to share the notes, I can generate a link.

Teammates can open the summary in their browser or application and quickly see what was discussed in the meeting. Once

the notes are generated, you can interact with them through chat. Instead

of scrolling through the entire meeting summary, you can ask Granola questions about the discussion. For example, guys, I can ask what decisions were made during the meeting. Granola analyzes the

transcript and the notes, then highlights the key outcomes such as decisions about onboarding changes or pricing experiments. This makes it

pricing experiments. This makes it easier to review what was discussed, especially when several meetings happen on the same day. Another helpful feature here is what Granola calls recipes.

These are pre-built prompts that help you work with your meeting notes without writing prompts manually. Friends, let's

generate a list of tasks from the meeting. As you can see, the tool

For recurring meetings, you can use templates. There are templates for

templates. There are templates for one-on-one meetings, hiring discussions, stand-ups, or weekly team meetings helping structure notes from the start.

Once everything is ready, the notes can be shared with your team or organized into folders keeping meetings documented and easy to find later. Another thing

you can do in Granola is ask questions across all your meetings. Instead of

opening notes one by one, you can go to the chat section and ask about past discussions. For example, the platform

discussions. For example, the platform can summarize recent tasks, generate a weekly recap, or highlight potential gaps in the conversations. Since the

assistant has access to your meeting notes, it can analyze the information and surface useful insights. So guys,

instead of only storing transcripts, Granola turns your meetings into a searchable knowledge base. You can ask questions like what risks exist in the onboarding plan discussed today. The

tool then analyzes the conversation and highlights potential issues in the discussion. This kind of analysis can be

conversation. Granola also supports team
