But that process was such an incredible way of synthesizing all this advice that I guarantee I would have dropped different parts along the way. That's one example. I think another example is, and this is something we've observed with Granola users is just The way they approach notes is completely different to how they used to approach notes.

So if you look at the notes of granola users who use granola a lot, they only write a couple notes per meeting. And those notes are usually the internal thoughts that they had. So it's not the stuff that's in the transcript. It's like, oof, this person was a bit aggressive, or they seem kind of down, or I'm concerned about this area because they didn't really answer my question.

Like these things that are these really critical thoughts, And then everything else is deferred to the AI transcription. And when they come back to use the granola notes, they'll oftentimes be chatting. So instead of reading lots of notes for a meeting, they usually have a specific question in mind or piece of information that they're looking for.

And they find it more efficient to just ask that question and have a really high quality answer written for them.

I think at the end of the day, the central question of what's the information I need right now to be able to make the best decision possible is a central one. There's this image, if you're a diplomat, you get this dossier before you go into a high stakes negotiation that gives you all the background information that was crafted for that moment.

I think we're going to live in a world where everyone's getting those in real time whenever they go into any meeting. I think the interesting questions are, what context is useful for that? Is it just the previous meeting? Is it all your emails? Is it all the information in the world that goes in there? And then what's the actual interface of that look like?

And I think my view for Granola right now, Granola helps you generate the best meeting notes out there. But tomorrow, Granola should help you do all the work you want to do. So you walk out of a meeting and you need to write a follow-up email. You need to write an investment memo. You need to schedule an event with a whole bunch of different people.

Granola or a tool like Granola, with all the necessary context, should be able to take you 80, 90, 95% of the way there. I think something that's very important to me and the folks at Granola is that we see the role of AI as being a tool to make you better.

We think you can use AI to replace a person or take away a task from a person, or you can use AI to augment a person's abilities, augment their intelligence and augment their abilities. And we're really big believers in this idea of tools that make humans do more, achieve more, think more.

And so everything we're building is this idea of can you get Granola to do all the busy work of writing up that follow email, but then you add your judgment to it, which is actually what really matters here is this. And this is what's going to convince this person. So I'm going to twist it slightly as opposed to worry about all the specifics I need to get in there.
