Asking about single meetings

After a meeting, Ask Granola will be open in the sidebar. Use one of our existing prompts, or ask any question you can think of about the meeting. Here’s some ideas:

  • What timelines did we agree to work to?
  • What progress has been made with the infrastructure project?
  • Give me more detail about the candidate’s skills and experience.

Your chat with Ask Granola is not saved - when you return to the home screen, any chat messages will be cleared. Click the ‘copy to clipboard’ icon on a chat message and paste it in your note.

Asking about multiple meetings

Granola for iPhone currently supports Ask Granola for single notes - we’re working on multi-meeting support!

✨ Ask Granola on macOS allows you to ask questions and get insights across multiple meetings at once. This powerful feature helps you connect information, track progress, and discover patterns across your meeting history.

The Ask Granola button will appear in the bottom right of any list of notes - including:

  • Your notes and upcoming meetings
  • Search results
  • Folders

You can use Ask Granola to get answers about your meetings in any of these views.

Key features

Citations

Responses include citations that link back to the specific meetings where information was found. You can click on these citations to jump directly to the referenced meeting.

Concise responses

By default, Multi-Meeting Chat should provide concise, focused answers. If you need more detailed information, you can use the “Tell me more” option to expand on the initial response.

Tips for effective use

  • Be specific: Ask targeted questions to get more precise answers
  • Start broad, then narrow: Begin with general questions and then drill down into specifics
  • Use follow-up questions: Build on previous answers to explore topics in more depth
  • Try different perspectives: Ask about patterns, changes over time, or comparisons between meetings

Here are some simple introductory questions you could ask:

  • Client Management

“Summarize our relationship with this client over the past 3 months” “What commitments have we made to this client that we need to follow up on?” “What concerns has this client raised about our product?“

  • 1:1 Meetings

“What topics have I discussed with this person in our recent 1:1s?” “What feedback have I given this team member over our last few meetings?” “What goals or action items have we set in our previous conversations?”

Performance considerations

Responses may take a few seconds to generate, especially when analyzing many meetings. The system is optimized to provide the most relevant information while balancing speed and thoroughness.

More advanced querying

Once you’ve mastered simple retrieval, you can use more complex queries to get even more useful output and insights. Some things we’ve tried in Granola:

  • “How could we improve our pitch?”
  • “Write the help documentation for this feature”
  • “Write a marketing page for our enterprise plan designed to counter common questions in sales calls”
  • “How has our relationship with this client evolved over the past 6 months?”
  • “Is there anything I should be concerned about in recent standups?”
  • “Write the script for the Loom video I’m recording next”
