If you do one thing at work today, head to Granola and connect your Gmail to start getting briefs for your external meetings.
I've become embarrassingly dependent on these. Scanning the brief as you join a meeting so beats frantic linkedin searching
May 20
No more frantic Googling right before a meeting.
Introducing Briefs. Granola searches your emails, the web, and previous meeting notes. Then writes 3 bullets with just what you need to know.
Join your next meeting feeling prepared.

Who's the best website designer you know?
People love how thoughtfully crafted Granola's product is. We want to apply that same level of care to our presence on the web
This is a broad role: you'll own the design of Granola's website, as well as a host of related projects.
Dream job for the right person!

Unkey, Granola, Midday are good examples of using shadcn/ui over time. Started with the default components, a bit of branding and shipped v1.
When the time came (more resources, funding, hires), they rebranded. And when they did, the code was right there. Their code. Code that had evolved with the product.

This is the biggest upgrade to Granola's chat since we launched it.
Ask more ambitious questions, get faster answers. More and more I reach for this over Claude if I need to work on anything company-related
Apr 21
We've rebuilt Granola Chat from the ground up to be agentic.
So now, it handles quick questions faster and deeper questions more thoughtfully.

2025: Casa Granola 🥱
2026: Chateau Granola? 🤔

The buyer was "Granola Properties" so I guess that's a new take on Use of Funds.

Big news today. I feel incredibly lucky to be partnering with such smart people.
Alongside the fundraise: the team features, API, and enterprise controls we're launching means Granola can now power all kinds of agentic work inside your company.
We're looking forward to seeing what you build with this!

Today we're announcing our Series C alongside some big updates that make @meetgranola better for your team and your tools.
Excited to partner with Danny at Index and Mamoon at KP. Big things to come. Back to work!

Design cofounder of Granola: Here is why we remade a popular startup brand.
Sam Stephenson (@samstphenson) is the cofounder and design lead of @meetgranola. In our live in-depth conversation at @southpkcommons, we discuss:
› The “Aha!” Moment: Why Granola switched from real-time AI to post-meeting generation
› Intentional Branding: Moving from “toothpaste green” to a chaotic, high-energy, verdant hue
› The “Jurassic Park Moment”: Witnessing the “hatching” of an idea that eats the world
› Why Granola is “default private”: Navigating the social nuance of personal vs. team notes
› Built in London: How staying in a “smaller pond” helped cultivate a unique culture
› The “Granola Sam Video”: Why putting yourself in your onboarding is the ultimate empathy hack
› Designing for real life: Why the best productivity tools reflect the messiness of work
This conversation is a masterclass in product intuition and intentional design.
