The basics
- Granola is an app for Desktop and Mobile (iPhone and Android), a lot like Apple Notes or Notion. It works with Google Workspace or Microsoft login and integrates with your calendar.
- You have to manually start Granola for a meeting (it won't auto-join or auto-record anything). Granola then accesses your microphone audio, and your meeting audio on your computer, and transcribes it. It does not add a bot to your video call.
- Granola for Desktop works with any meeting platform. Zoom, Meet, Teams, you name it. Granola for Mobile is built for in-person meetings.
- Granola uses best-in-class transcription providers (like Deepgram and Assembly) and AI providers (like OpenAI and Anthropic) to summarize your meeting.
Model training
- We do not allow third parties (like OpenAI or Anthropic) to use your data to train their AI models.
- Granola trains on your anonymized data so we can keep making Granola better. You can opt out of this in your Settings.
- Enterprise users have model training turned off by default.
No stored recordings
- Granola doesn't store the audio from meetings - it transcribes in real time on macOS/Windows, or after your meeting using temporarily cached audio on Mobile. It only stores the transcript and any notes you provide from a call.
You control who sees your notes
- As a user, you control who sees your notes. Notes are private by default, until you choose to share them with others.
- You can delete individual notes, or request deletion of all your data at any time.
Everything stored in industry standard, encrypted infrastructure
- Notes are stored in our US-hosted AWS Virtual Private Cloud. They are encrypted at rest and in transit. They are backed up daily.
- Granola is built and maintained by our top-tier engineering team, who've built scalable infrastructure for companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Meta.
