Not just what they do, but how they do it
Granola is an app that captures meeting audio and enhancing the notes you type yourself. Supernormal also offers a desktop app for documenting meetings automatically, creating summaries and providing pre-built AI agents that complete work based on this context. Here's how their feature sets compare in practice.
How they capture
The Supernormal app runs on your desktop and uses system audio to detect when a call or meeting is happening. It captures automatically when audio is live, or you can trigger captures manually for in-person conversations. No bots or browser tabs needed.
Granola also captures meeting audio without bots. The app works across Zoom, Meet, and Slack by transcribing in the background while you take notes.
What they produce
After the desktop app captures your meeting, Supernormal automatically generates a clean summary in the web app. The full transcript and complete deliverables are ready for you to review, edit, and use. Reference individual meetings or all meetings from a particular project as context for presentations, spreadsheets, documents, or anything else you need Supernormal's agents to work on.
Granola enhances your notes after meetings with AI-suggested edits and additions. You see your original input alongside a lightly structured version that helps you reflect and refine. You then need to switch to a different tool to complete related tasks.
How you follow up
Supernormal displays post-meeting prompts in your notes (make slides, draft email, extract actions) that create deliverables you can review and send. Connect Supernormal's agents to meetings and other context like your email inbox to generate other outputs like slides, spreadsheets, or images.
Granola highlights priorities from the transcript but doesn't support task creation or integrations. Follow-ups are manual.
Granola enhances your meeting notes. Supernormal gives you notes and agents to complete all your client deliverables.
