Today, we’re bringing the power of Granola to your team.

We designed Granola to be the best tool for writing meeting notes. Once you start using it, Granola quickly becomes a powerful repository of meetings that you can search through or chat with.

Since our launch a year ago, people have started referring to Granola as their “second brain”. The ability to chat with detailed transcripts from any meeting gives you super-human memory, and the ability to analyze trends across your meetings is like having a personal analyst or Chief of Staff.

Each day Granola transcribes millions of minutes of conversation and makes it queryable with AI. Having these capabilities is super useful as an individual, but we’ve found it’s even more valuable for a team.

Why? Because the most up-to-date, relevant data on what’s happening in a company doesn’t lie in a Google Doc, internal wiki, or Slack channel, it’s in the conversations employees are having day in, day out. With Granola, it’s now possible to make sense of that sea of information, and harness it in countless ways.

With every call in one place, sales leaders can ask “Why are we losing deals this quarter?”, product managers can probe “Which UX issues come up most often?”, and recruiters can diagnose “Where do our interviews keep stalling?” — all answered instantly with source-linked citations.

We believe that harnessing shared meeting context with AI will be a core tool of how effective teams work in the future.

Here’s what we’re launching:

Your company’s new collective brain: Shared team folders

• Create folders for Sales Calls, Customer Feedback, Hiring Loops, Weekly Syncs and more.
• Share a URL so anyone on your team (even without a Granola account) can read notes and chat with the AI.
• Granola analyzes every transcript in the set and cites the exact lines, so your team moves from anecdotes to evidence in seconds.

Instant Project Folders — drag, drop, done

Need a quick workspace for a fundraise, feature launch, or customer deep-dive? Select a few meetings → drag into a new folder → invite collaborators. Everyone sees the same timeline and source-linked chat without a single copy-paste.

Chat with folders

Ask a question, write a memo, get an analysis or spot themes… Chat with folders to uncover insights from across multiple meetings. Every AI answer comes with inline citations and a jump-to-source link, so facts stay anchored to reality.

Best-in-class reasoning models — fully in your control

To pull out the most value from meetings notes and transcripts, we’re adding support for top models across providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc). We’re specifically adding support for reasoning models, which we’ve found to be able to do detailed analysis across large numbers of meetings. Leave Granola on Auto to pick the strongest option for long-range reasoning, or switch the dropdown to your favourite model whenever you like.

Browse folders across your company

Business & Enterprise users can open the new Browse view and hop into any public folder inside the domain — perfect for competitive intel, customer success, or onboarding new hires.

Smart suggestions: one-click organisation (soon)

Right after a meeting ends, Granola predicts the best folder based on title, participants, and past behaviour. One tap to accept; no more orphaned notes.

Slack auto-posting — keep the whole team in the loop

Connect a channel once and Granola posts concise summaries, action items, and a “Chat with this meeting” button the moment the call ends. Teammates who’ve never opened Granola still stay up-to-date in the tool they check all day.

Folder templates

Pick User Research, Sales Pipeline, or Interview Loop and Granola pre-loads folder structure, permissions, and starter chat prompts so your team knows exactly how to use it on Day 1.

A next chapter

All these features are our first step into making Granola the place your team gets work done. A powerful, intelligent workspace sitting on top of living, up-to-date context of what’s happening in your company.

To realize this vision, we have partnered with some of the best AI and product minds in the industry. Today we’re announcing we've raised a $43 million Series B led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross from NFDG, along with our existing investors Mike Mignano from Lightspeed and Nabeel Hyatt from Spark.

We also have a fantastic group of angel investors, including: Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Amjad Masad (Replit), Tobi Lutke (Shopify), Karri Saarinen (Linear), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny’s Newsletter), Des Traynor (Intercom), Karim Atiyeh (Ramp), Zach Lloyd (Warp), Charlie Songhurst, Noah Weiss, Romain Huet, Nilan Peiris and Laura Modiano.

We are excited to turn Granola into a tool that not only makes you work better, but think better, and we can’t wait to share some of the things we have in the works to bring new capabilities to you and your team.

If you already use Granola, these features are rolling out today. New here? Download the desktop app and create your first shared folder in under a minute.
