Granola takes a different approach to meeting notes: instead of a bot joining your call, it runs quietly in the background on your desktop (Mac and Windows) and captures system audio, then turns it into polished, organized notes at the end of the meeting. You can ask questions about past meetings, surface relevant context mid-conversation, and draft follow-up emails immediately after. It has become a favorite among founders and VCs specifically because there's no visible bot in the call.
