What Meetful does instead

Kept, not clearedNotes from March are still there in December. Transcripts and recaps are not counted against any limit.
Everyone on their own microphoneGranola listens on one computer. Meetful transcribes each person from their own microphone, so a line's name is never inferred from a voice.
No bot here eitherLike Granola, nothing joins the call. The meeting writes its own notes.
Across all your meetingsOn Pro, ask every meeting one question at once, or search every word anyone said.

When Granola may suit you better

Granola works on any call your computer can hear, without anyone else changing the app they use, and lets you write your own notes alongside. If you are the only one who wants notes and your meetings happen in other apps, that is a real advantage. Meetful asks people to meet on Meetful, which is what lets it name every speaker from their own microphone.

Moving over from Granola

  1. Copy your Granola notes or transcripts into text or Markdown files, one meeting to a file.
  2. Open your dashboard, press Bring meetings in, and drop the files in. It takes plain text, .vtt and .srt captions, .json, Markdown and Word files, and keeps the speaker names that were in them.
