You can write notes. The main difference about it is that it's also listening to what's being talked about. So if you use it in the meeting, You can jot down whatever notes, whatever thoughts you have. Granoa is listening to the conversation. It's transcribing that conversation in real time.

And then when the meeting ends, it'll take whatever notes you've written and it'll flesh them out to make them great. So you no longer have to write down everything that's important. You can really focus on what are the really key insights or the thoughts that you had in that meeting, like the key judgment that you bring to that situation.

And you can kind of outsource all the busy work, the rote work of writing down information or facts to the AI. What's so powerful about this, and we still don't fully understand, I think, how it's going to change the way people work. I know it's going to change the way people work because I work differently and Granola users work differently.

And we're maybe 5% down the path to our vision is that when you look back at your notes, you have that full context of the meeting. So you can then go and chat with Granola and ask it questions about what happened or pull out themes.

Right now, we have a feature internally we haven't launched publicly where you can look at all your meetings with a certain person or all your meetings on a specific topic and pull out themes across those meetings. And it just makes this context that otherwise is lost or forgotten. You wrote it down somewhere, but you don't know where that notebook is.

You don't look it up when you're making a decision that's relevant. And it just makes it immediately accessible and useful.

This is something that I think will be widespread. Knowledge workers, folks like you and me, we're constantly going to be thinking about what's the context I need right now to be the smartest I can be. For folks listening, when you're using something like ChatGPT or any LLM, there's this idea of a context window. You can put X amount of information into that context window.

And it's basically like giving you like, here's the situation. Here's the stuff you need to know to be able to think about it. That way of thinking is also going to apply to us, to people. We're going to be thinking about that all the time. A concrete example. I need to write a blog post.

Before, I would have just sat down with a notebook and I would have scribbled down a bunch of ideas and then I would have tried to type it up. What I did now was I first talked to a few different people who had good advice on this blog post and I used Granola. So now I have notes and the full transcript from those conversations.

I then used the Granola app and just walked around and spoke out loud about different ideas. So I did a brainstorm where I was just recording it. And then I put all of that in a folder inside of Granola. And I started chatting with the AI, asking it to pull out themes or suggested formats. And at the end of the day, I'm going to write the blog post.
