Granola is an AI notetaker, and we've been using it for a year now. We've tried Fathom, Fireflies, Otter, TL;DV and so many others but Granola has taking the lead...
When I first heard about it, I actually wrote it off.
It records meetings, it transcribes notes, but so many other tools already did that.
So bloody what? Why was everyone obsessed? I didn't need another tool 😅
Well, the Granola team focused on something called invisible design when creating the product. Kind of like an invisible handrail on a staircase.
It stays out of the way while you live your life, but when you need it, it's instantly there to help "hold your weight".
And that's why it stuck. It's simple yet super helpful when you need it.
💻 I didn't need permission to admit Granola into a meeting for me to capture notes. No awkwardness.
👥 I was at a conference talking to someone and said "Do you mind if I write this down? And by write it down, I mean turn on Granola." And I just focused on our conversation.
🌳 I take walks with Alex and when we start talking talking through something for the business, Granola is on my phone, ready to capture our conversation with our decisions and next steps.
It's out of the way 99% of the time, but when I need it there, I tap one button.
It's become the best AI notetaker I've ever had.

Anyone else getting fatigue by "Claude runs my entire business for me" content? 🙋♀️
Same.
The loudest voices right now are selling how easy it is to just delegate your business to AI.
But that is not what is actually happening behind the scenes.
What goes viral is never:
"I spent hundreds of hours building and refining this system."
It is always: "This one AI automation 3x’d our revenue!"
We've seen enough of these types of posts, so we recorded a conversation breaking down where all the hype around AI (Claude, ChatGPT) is actually failing businesses 🤔

"No matter what software I try, it never works exactly how I want."
That is because software alone (no matter how good it is) cannot solve much.
If your software does not reflect your actual business processes, it will *always* underperform.
Here is the fastest way to set up systems in your business ⬇️
