Granola
Meeting notes that you actually want to read
Overview
Granola listens during your meetings (using your laptop's system audio) and combines what it hears with your hand-written shorthand to produce well-structured notes. Aimed at busy operators who attend many calls; no bot joins the meeting, which sidesteps a common policy hurdle.
Use cases
ASEAN Perspective
Granola in Southeast Asia
ASEAN-region availability and pricing notes coming soon. Drop the editorial team a note via /contact/ if you can supply local context (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam).
Granola is a fast-rising AI meeting notepad that captures audio locally without sending a bot into the call, then merges your typed notes with the transcript into clean, structured summaries, with team Spaces, folders and (on higher tiers) APIs. Its strengths are the unobtrusive bot-free model, genuinely good note quality and a polished, low-friction experience, which is why it has scaled to a high valuation. It suits founders, managers and anyone in back-to-back meetings who wants notes without the awkward recording bot.
Honest caveats: the free plan is limited to a small lifetime number of meetings so regular use requires paying, desktop/platform coverage and recording-consent obligations (PDPA/GDPR) need attention, and API access is gated to business/enterprise tiers. ASEAN access is available and English-first; confirm data handling for sensitive calls. A strong, well-designed pick if meetings dominate your day.
