Common feature requests
Our vision is that Granola will become the place where people in back-to-back meetings work, as an individual and collaboratively with their teams.
We're focussed on helping you get more from the information in your meetings (by getting insights via chat or by creating artifacts for you from them), and making it easier for your whole team to collaborate around the meetings being had at an organisation.
The features we're working on are powering that vision.
As a small team, we have to ruthlessly prioritise, and we aren't able to build everything we'd love to. Here are a few features we're asked about regularly and what we're thinking about.
Feature requests
We love that our users have so many great ideas about how to make Granola better. This page contains some information about the most frequently requested features and when you might be able to expect them.
Outlook integration
We're hoping to support Outlook later this year, and you can join the waitlist here to be the first to hear about our beta version when it's ready.
In the meantime, by sharing your calendar to a Google account, you can still use Granola.
Automatic start for all meetings
The ability to opt into automatically starting Granola for all meetings is under consideration. We’re mindful of the complexities this might cause when people accidentally transcribe meetings or moments that they didn’t want to be transcribed, and so we want to build better functionality around deleting or editing transcripts first.
Editing transcripts
It's not currently possible to edit transcripts or delete a section in Granola - we're aware that this would be useful sometimes to trim out sections of the transcript that you didn't mean to have Granola running for, but it's not something we're actively working on at the moment.
Setting a default template
Meetings are summarized using our 'auto' template to begin with. You can choose different templates to change the way your notes are summarized, but it's not currently possible to set a default template other than the 'auto' option, or choose a template during/before the meeting. We're considering how to evolve templates and will try and take this use-case into account when we're designing it.
Speaker identification on desktop apps (macOS and Windows)
While our iPhone app can identify up to 10 distinct speakers for in-person meetings (labelled as Speaker A, Speaker B, etc), the real-time transcription models we use on macOS and Windows aren't capable of this yet. We're working with a number of transcription partners to work towards this functionality in the future.
Our AI usually does a good job of inferring action owners and speakers from contextual clues in the transcript (or speaker labels from iPhone), but if it's summarized incorrectly in your AI enhanced notes, you can correct this directly or ask Granola Chat to update your notes.
More languages
While we do support the most common languages requested, we know not all are currently supported in Granola. You can request more languages for us to work with our transcription provider to add here.
API support
We currently don’t have plans to support a public API. We’ve focussed first on Zapier as a solution to an open-ended integration, and want to learn more from how this is used.
Automatic export to integrations (e.g. Notion)
While we do support lots of integrations, they require you to choose explicitly to send each note, rather than automatically being sent to an integration. Right now we’re focusing on organizing notes on-platform better, but automatic integrations is something we’re regularly looking at. It's likely that our integrations will always involve an action like adding a meeting to a folder to trigger an integration to fire.
Android
We don’t have an ETA for this yet, but it’s on our radar. You can join the waitlist to be the first to hear about it.
Using Granola for iPhone in meetings (e.g. on Zoom, Google meet)
We've just launched the ability to make phone calls on our iOS app - check it out!
For other meetings (e.g. on Zoom, Google meet), we can’t currently support this due to native iOS restrictions on capturing audio. This means that in general, the Granola for iPhone app is best for in-person meetings.
Audio or video recording & storage
At the moment Granola is optimized for brilliant note-taking and creation, and we don’t have plans to start supporting video or audio recordings.
Other
As with many start-ups at our stage, we have a long list of features and improvements we'd love to build that we hope to get to eventually! Adding templates before a call, uploading previously-recorded meetings, keeping chat history, collaborating on notes, and many more, are things we hear regularly and hope to work on soon!
