Granola

What is Granola?

Granola is an AI notepad for meetings. It transcribes calls from the computer's audio without a bot joining the meeting, and combines that transcript with the notes the person typed to produce clean, structured meeting notes. Founders, account executives and consultants use it because it works across any meeting platform and stays out of the buyer's view.

Granola notes are good because they mix the transcript with what the note-taker thought mattered. Those notes then sit in Granola while the proposal gets written in another tool. The judgement captured in the meeting, the three things the person flagged as important, does not reach the document on its own.

Turn the notes you took in the meeting into the document you send after it

Cobl reads the Granola meeting notes you connect to a deal, with the transcript behind them. That context sits inside a deal workspace next to the follow-up, the proposal and the one-pager, so the documents start from what was said and from what the note-taker decided was important.

The typed notes carry intent. When the account executive wrote "budget approved for Q1" during the call, that line tells the agents what the proposal should lead on. Because the notes carry the writer's judgement as well as the transcript, the follow-up sounds like the person who ran the meeting rather than a summary of it.

What Granola and Cobl look like on a live deal

An account executive runs a discovery call on a video platform the buyer chose, with Granola taking notes in the background and no bot in the room. During the call they type four short lines: the budget timing, the incumbent tool, a named risk and the decision date. Granola turns those lines and the transcript into structured notes. The meeting is connected to a Cobl deal workspace.

The follow-up, drafted that afternoon, leads on the named risk and the decision date. When the buyer asks for a one-pager to share internally, it comes from the same notes. Nothing is sent without review.

Key features of the Cobl Granola integration

Meeting notes and transcripts as source material

Cobl reads the notes Granola produced and the transcript behind them. The notes give priority, the transcript gives the detail, and both reach the document. When the notes and the transcript disagree, the transcript is the record of what was actually said.

Your own emphasis carried forward

What you typed during the meeting tells the agents what mattered. The follow-up reflects your read of the call, not only an automatic summary of it. That emphasis is usually the first thing lost when someone else writes the follow-up.

Any meeting platform, no bot

Granola captures meetings on whatever platform the buyer uses. The context reaching Cobl is the same whether the call ran on Zoom, Teams, Meet or elsewhere. The buyer never sees a recording bot join the call, and the documents still benefit from a full record.

Works with your CRM, docs and chat

Granola context combines with records in Attio, documentation in Notion and internal discussion in Slack. Attio holds the deal, Notion holds product and pricing context, and Slack holds the team's discussion. Granola adds what the buyer said and what you thought mattered.

Frequently asked questions

Does Cobl integrate with Granola?

Yes. Cobl connects to Granola so meeting notes and transcripts can be used as context for follow-ups, proposals and one-pagers on the deal they belong to.

What Granola data does Cobl access?

The meeting notes you connect to a deal and the transcripts behind them, read through the access the connected account holds. Meetings you do not connect are not part of the deal context.

Does it matter that Granola has no bot?

No. Cobl works from the notes and transcript Granola produces, however they were captured. The buyer's experience of the meeting stays exactly as it was.

Does Cobl replace Granola's notes?

No. Granola captures the meeting and structures the notes. Cobl uses them to write what comes next: the follow-up, the proposal, the one-pager.

Can I edit before anything is sent?

Yes. Cobl produces a draft. Precise changes go through the inline editor and approval stays with you. More on data handling sits on the security page.
