Granola 2.0 is an advanced AI-powered collaboration tool designed to centralize team conversations and make them actionable. Originally built for writing meeting notes, it has evolved into a "second brain" for teams, enabling users to transcribe, search, and analyze millions of minutes of conversations. By leveraging AI, Granola transforms meeting transcripts into a queryable repository, offering instant insights and trend analysis. This capability allows teams to tap into their most relevant data—conversations—rather than scattered documentation.
Key features include shared team folders for organizing meetings by categories such as Sales Calls, Customer Feedback, or Hiring Loops, with the ability to share insights even with non-Granola users. Instant project folders enable quick collaboration by grouping related meetings, while AI-powered chat functionality allows users to extract insights, write memos, and analyze themes across meetings with source-linked citations for transparency.
Granola integrates best-in-class reasoning models from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, offering users control over model selection for detailed analysis. Business users can browse public folders across their domain for competitive intelligence or onboarding, while upcoming smart suggestions will streamline folder organization based on meeting context. Slack integration ensures team-wide updates by automatically posting summaries and action items after meetings.
To further enhance usability, Granola offers folder templates tailored for specific workflows like User Research or Sales Pipelines, preloading structures, permissions, and prompts. With a focus on transforming how teams work and think, Granola 2.0 represents a next-generation workspace powered by real-time, AI-driven insights.
