Remember when people thought the @meetgranola rebrand was a failure? Horrible take.

Excited for our event tomorrow with @alexrkonrad and @yayalexisgay! If you're building full-time and about to raise your first few rounds, we're running a night on storytelling you can't miss. Leading it: - Alex ran Forbes' Midas List for a decade and broke some of tech's biggest stories before building @UpstartsMediaCo - Alexis used to work in tech before becoming one of the valley's most recognizable comedians (with a casual 25m views on her content) DM if you'd like to come tomorrow!

I have spent 91 hours (!!) in meetings with marketing agencies since I started at @meetgranola. Been testing briefs for the last few months and has made me *so much more prepared*.

it's true

App of the Day!

Pepper Potts uses Granola!

If you've been using Granola for a while, try the "How Have I Changed?" recipe with the updated chat. It's easy to see how the product becomes more valuable to you the more you use it and the more areas of your life that you use it in This is not just a meeting notetaker. recipes.granola.ai/r/6cda9ef…

This also enables a bunch of new Recipes, like /How I like to work, which was wonderfully accurate for me

Sidebar motion improvements are in the air! I shipped some refinements to the sidebar for @meetgranola last week, heres a comparison of the before and after 🏄

DEN by @_tikhon and friends is always a vibe.

Introducing Spaces. Organize and share notes with your team, then put them to work. Ask questions across every conversation your team has had. Sales calls, stand-ups, user research, brainstorms.

Now, it's even easier to work with your team in Granola with Spaces. And you can work with your context super easily with our API. And if you're a big team, the enterprise controls you'd expect. So much more to come too. We are at the very beginning. Let's go 🚀

I think people don't realize how good granola's internal system prompts are. We got to see some glimpses when they released @meetgranola crunched last year. It's so much more than just running your transcripts through some LLM and summarizing them.

There are some tweets out there saying that Granola is trying to lock down access to your data. Tldr; we are actually trying to become more open, not closed. We’re launching a public API next week to complement our MCP. Read on for context. A couple months ago, we noticed that some folks had reversed engineered our local cache so they could access their meeting data. Our cache was not built for this (it can change at any point), so we launched our MCP to serve this need. The MCP gives full access to your notes and transcripts (all time for paid users, time restricted for free users). MCP usage has exploded since launch, so we felt good about it. A week ago, we updated how we store data in our cache and broke the workarounds. This is on us. Stupidly, we thought we had solved these use cases well enough with our MCP. We’ve now learned that while MCPs are great for connecting to tools like Claude or chatGPT, they don’t meet your needs for agents running locally or for data export / pipeline work. So we’re going to fix this for you ASAP. First, we’ll launch a public API next week to make it easier for you to pull your data. Second, we’ll figure out how to make Granola work better for agents running locally. Whether that’s expanding our MCP, launching a CLI, a local API, etc. The industry is moving quickly here, so we’d appreciate your suggestions. We want Granola data to be accessible and useful wherever you need it. Stay tuned.
