Architectureepisodic-buffer / No-Bot Local Audio Transcription + Note Enhancement
DetailsGranola runs locally on macOS, capturing system audio directly from Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, and WebEx without deploying a visible meeting bot. The user jots lightweight notes during the meeting; when the meeting ends, Granola's AI fleshes them out into structured, shareable notes. Over time, all meetings become a searchable, queryable archive. A 2026 MCP layer allows external AI tools to connect to Granola's full meeting memory corpus. Raised $125M Series C at $1.5B valuation in early 2026.
