Granola Hello World
Overview
Capture your first meeting with Granola and learn the three-phase workflow: live notepad, Enhance Notes, and Granola Chat. Granola captures audio from your device (no bot joins), transcribes it, and merges your typed notes with the full transcript to produce structured output.
Prerequisites
- Completed
granola-install-auth setup
- Calendar connected with an upcoming meeting (or create a test one)
- Microphone + Screen & System Audio permissions granted
Instructions
Step 1 — Start a Meeting
- Join any video call — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack Huddle, or WebEx
- Granola auto-detects the meeting from your synced calendar
- A floating notepad appears showing the meeting title and attendees
- If auto-detection fails, click the Granola icon in your menu bar and select Start Recording
Step 2 — Take Live Notes in the Notepad
During the meeting, type rough notes directly in the Granola notepad:
- discussed Q1 priorities
- sarah owns onboarding revamp
- need design review by thursday
- budget question - follow up with finance
These notes give Granola context. The AI uses your notes plus the full transcript to produce better output — you do not need to capture everything.
Step 3 — End Meeting and Enhance
- End your video call
- Granola processes the transcript (typically 1-2 minutes)
- Click Enhance Notes — Granola merges your notes with the transcript
- Select a template (or use the default) to structure the output
Step 4 — Review Enhanced Output
Granola produces structured notes based on your template:
