The best meeting notepad when presence matters
Ruling editorial benchmark: Granola has strong public sentiment because it avoids the heavy meeting-bot feel and turns personal notes plus transcript context into clean summaries. It is strongest for founders, product leaders, recruiters, and operators in back-to-back meetings. The main caveats are capture reliability edge cases and plan/history limits as usage grows.
