Granola improves
your notes.
We remove the
need to take them.
Granola takes your own typed notes and fills them out using your computer's audio, with no bot. MeetNotes records the room from your phone and writes formal minutes. Where each fits.
Where MeetNotes wins: Nobody has to type: a speaker-labelled transcript with names you confirm, and minutes other people receive as PDF or Word.
Why MeetNotes,
not Granola
You cannot type in this meeting. You are on a site, in a client's office, driving the conversation — the person who would take the notes is the person who has to be talking.
You need speaker separation with names you confirm, because "who agreed to that" is the question that matters a week later.
The output has to be a document other people receive — PDF or Word, in the language you choose, shareable to people with no account.
The differences that
actually decide it
Structural facts only — no feature-count scoreboard, and no prices, because prices change and a stale price is a false claim.
| Granola | MeetNotes | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you are | At a computer, typing | In a room or on a call, talking rather than typing |
| What you contribute | Your own notes, which it enhances | Nothing — you press record |
| Speaker separation with confirmed names | Not the focus | Core, and you confirm the names before export |
| Output | Enhanced personal notes | Circulable minutes as PDF / Word / share link |
When Granola
still fits
You take notes anyway, on a laptop, and you want them sharpened rather than replaced. That is Granola's actual insight and it is a good one.
Your meetings are online, you are at a desk, and you want no bot in the call — it uses your computer's own audio.
You want a fast, personal, low-ceremony notepad rather than a document to circulate.
Where they fit: Granola is a better desk companion than we are, and its no-bot capture on a laptop is cleaner than a microphone in a room. If you are at a computer and you already type, that is a real workflow and we are not it.
Record one meeting.
Run both. Let an AI
judge them blind.
A comparison page written by a vendor is worth nothing next to a test you run on your own audio. Ours is published in full: a protocol, a judge prompt that names no product, and a standing promise to publish the head-to-heads we lose.
