In this video, I break down Granola, an AI notepad that sits on your desktop, plugs into your calendar, and automatically transcribes your meetings without any of those awkward bots joining your calls. I walk you through the full setup from scratch, show you how it turns messy notes and audio into clean structured recaps with action items, and then test whether its chat feature can actually recall specific details I only mentioned verbally in a call. I also dig into the integrations side, like how you can auto-publish sales call notes to Slack, update your HubSpot CRM without lifting a finger, and set up automated follow-up emails through Zapier and Gmail. If you spend half your day in meetings and feel like stuff keeps slipping through the cracks, this one's for you.
