Transparency

How Granola lets people know when notes are being taken

Granola works in the background to transcribe meetings. We offer multiple ways to keep attendees informed without interrupting the flow of conversation.

Transparency is a design principle

Great conversations require trust. That’s why we’ve built tools to show the people you meet with when Granola is taking notes.

Meeting chat message telling participants Granola is transcribing the call

Granola sends a message in the chat so everyone knows it's transcribing

  • Automatic, so you don't have to think twice about it
  • Keeps participants informed without interrupting the conversation
Video call with a transcribing watermark shown over the speaker's video

Show a watermark on your video so everyone in the meeting can see that Granola is active

  • Stays on throughout the call, so even late joiners are aware
  • Shows when you're transcribing and turns off when you're not

Transparency features are available across Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams

Meetings are your best source of knowledge

AI note-taking is a new category. People can now fully incorporate ideas and decisions from meetings into their work, turning meetings into some of the most valuable data and context a company has. That raises the stakes for how they’re captured.

Granola keeps people present in the conversation, keeps everyone you meet with informed and keeps what’s said safe.

What IT and legal need to know

Keeping participants informed is a shared responsibility. In a world of back-to-back meetings, we’re investing in making this as clear and seamless as possible.

A dedicated trust team

We have a product team focused specifically on the ins and outs of trust and transparency.

Private by default

You control who sees your notes, so they're never shared unless you want them to be. You can request deletion of all your data at any time.

Partnership with global organisations

We're working with large companies to find solutions that account for the nuances of meetings, regional needs, and company culture, while keeping calmness and trust at the forefront.

“AI transcription tools can be game-changing — but they also introduce serious security and privacy concerns. Granola enables us to capitalise on this technology without budging on our compliance commitments.”
