New: Briefs prepare you for your next meeting as you join

Granola now helps you prepare for a meeting, as you walk into it.

Open a meeting note, and you'll see a short brief: who you're meeting, what you discussed last time and what matters now. Perfect for those times you're frantically Googling a person as you join a call five minutes later than planned.

How it works

Overnight, Granola starts preparing for your day ahead.

First, it checks who you're meeting. It thinks about what matters to you, so every brief is different. It researches your past notes and what you've already discussed if you've met before.

Then, if you choose to add Gmail access, it can pull from recent emails. And then, it'll do some web research if it feels it needs to.

By the time you open your laptop, the brief is ready. No set up needed, no manual prompting.

When it helps

You're busy, so your brief is designed to be quick. It's a two-to-three bullet pointed list of what matters most, so you can catch up fast. Then it gets out of your way, so you can focus on the person in front of you.

It means you never walk into a meeting cold. Know what's important to you and the person in front of you, catch up on what you discussed last time and track where you are with ongoing projects.

Every fact is cited, and at the bottom of each brief, you can always see the steps it took to decide what to show you.

Meeting with a regular client? Granola will remind you where you left off and highlight any open items.

Or, if you're meeting someone for the first time, Granola works with your notes, the wider internet and your Gmail.
