## What Granola is

Granola is an AI notepad for people with back-to-back meetings. It is designed to help them capture and organise what happens across their calls without adding a meeting bot. Basic costs $0 per user per month, Business costs $14, and Enterprise costs $35.

Granola uses computer audio during meetings and syncs with a calendar. Before external meetings, it prepares a Brief. It uses meeting context to turn notes into personal notes, then produces notes, action items and follow-ups when the meeting ends.

Pricing: Basic is $0 per user per month, Business is $14 per user per month, and Enterprise is $35 per user per month.
