Granola has been the most fun thing I've ever worked on as a designer.
1. We're building a tool that thousands of people love using, that's spreading rapidly through word of mouth
2. We get to spend all day in unchartered territory. Figuring out the interaction patterns that will help AI tools augment us, not just replace us.
…And now we're officially on the lookout for a founding designer to join us on this mission.
Bring your ambition and your optimism and let's build something memorable together.

This is something that's felt obviously powerful since day 1 of Granola. Today it's finally real
There are so, so many useful ways to use this. Have a play and tell me your favorites 🛝
New today in Granola: Chat across all your meetings.
Yes you read that right. Now you can ask questions that span weeks — even months — of conversations. Context, transcripts, and reasoning included.
Just hit "Ask Granola" on your home screen

We've been living with this internally for several weeks now, and it's changed how I use Granola.
Being able to ask for themes across all our user calls really feels like the future.
This is just the beginning for team collaboration in Granola. Lots more to come soon!
The most up-to-date picture of your company isn't in any doc, wiki, or spreadsheet. It's in the conversations your team is having.
Today we're announcing Granola 2.0. All the context from your team's meetings, in one place, accessible to you with AI.
We're also announcing @meetgranola's $43M series B led by @natfriedman, alongside @lightspeedvp and @sparkcapital , to build the AI workspace of the future.

There are many, many teams out there where a fraction are using Granola and loving it, but can't get their whole team on because folks are spread across Mac and Windows.
Today that changes! We're bringing Granola to Windows and opening it up to many millions more computer users
To all of you that have patiently waited: today's the day.
Granola for Windows is live ☀️
Now your *whole* team can use Granola together, wherever they do their work.
Still a few features with a beta label on them, but it's available to use today. Tell your Windows friends!

This has been a huge effort from so many folks on the @meetgranola team. Feels good to let you finally get your hands on it!
Say hello to Granola for iOS.
When we launched @meetgranola, we wanted to bring the magic of AI notetaking to your Zoom calls.
Today, we're bringing that magic to your in-person conversations.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!

It's weird that most notes apps orient around only abstract concepts like tags, folders, and links.
Yes, they're useful, flexible etc.. But most real people think in more real terms: the people they've talked to, clients they work with.
People & companies: They're the 80/20.
Folders/tags/etc have a place (and they'll come) but they shouldn't be the main character.
This was of the first ideas @cjpedregal and I talked about when jamming on early Granola and it's cool to see it finally start to take shape.
Granola search just got a big upgrade!
• Instantly find all notes with a person 👩💼
• Search every meeting with a company 🏢
• Lightning-fast and works offline 🚀

This is pinch-yourself stuff being featured in such a high-quality list of products - I'm so proud of @meetgranola team for what we've built together 🙌
🔥 Announcing the greatest product bundle ever 🔥
Starting today, paid subscribers to the Lenny’s Newsletter annual plan will get:
- 1 year of @MeetGranola for your entire company ($10k+ value)
- 1 year of @NotionHQ w/ AI for your team ($2k+ value)
- 1 year of @Linear for two seats ($336 value)
- 1 year of @Superhuman ($300 value)
- 1 year of @Perplexity_ai Pro ($240 value)
Yes, you read that right.
I specifically selected these tools because they were among the most beloved products in my recent “What’s in your stack” survey. They represent the height of what products can be—they’re beautiful and fast, and they make your life better.
This is all in addition to the existing benefits of being a paid subscriber: full access to every newsletter post, the 5-year back catalog, and an invite to a thriving members-only Slack community. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
I’m also taking this opportunity to increase the price of my newsletter for new subscribers. This is the first time I’ve ever changed my price—after five years of doing this, week in and week out. An annual subscription is going from $150/year to $200/year, and a monthly subscription is going from $15/month to $20/month.
Existing subscribers will be grandfathered into their existing price (as long as you stay a subscriber), and the price increase will kick in on February 6th—that’s in 48 hours. So grab your subscription now!
Except for Perplexity (which I've previously partnered with), none of these companies have ever offered this kind of deal before.
This bundle is worth over $13,000, all for just $200.
See the links below to subscribe and redeem the deal.

We went deeper into the windy path that led to Granola than any other conversation I've had. Some interesting tales in there hopefully
📝 @meetgranola has quickly become a tech darling and a staple part of my workflow
But it was a winding path to get there...

Writing is thinking.
If a bot is writing notes for you, it’s thinking for you. Instead, Granola starts with your notes, and makes them better.

Working with AI on a high level, across multiple meetings has been a part of the plan for Granola since day 1. It opens up so many useful applications.
Feels great to have it finally out, and I'm super proud of the execution by @JoBarrow, Robert, and others
Introducing a new way to use Granola 🔥
Our chat feature now works with any person or company - no more digging through old notes 🗂️
Use Granola to chat across multiple meetings and ask things like “What feedback has Jim given about our product?”.

We're gearing up to open Granola to more people, and are looking for more brilliant people to join us in London.
Say hello if this sounds interesting - even if these exact roles don't sound like a fit!
Hey - we’re hiring! We've been iterating in stealth on our LLM app for the past year, and now we're seeing awesome engagement from our beta users.
We're gearing up to launch publicly so we're hiring 3 people:
1. Founding engineer (jobs.granola.so/founding-eng…)
2. Chief of Staff (jobs.granola.so/chief-of-sta…)
3. LLM Whisperer (jobs.granola.so/lllm-whisper…)
This is a rare opportunity to build a world-class product, on top of LLMs, with nice people, in London. If you know anyone great, hit me up!

I use this feature all the time now
Let's me direct Granola at a higher level to the stuff I care about in a meeting, beyond just jotting down specific points
🎉 Fresh from Granola: If you include markdown headers in your notes, Granola will fill them out at the end of the call.
This is an easy way for you to point out essential topics before or during your call. Just type # at the beginning of a line to make it a header.
Here’s five ways you can use headers for even better meeting notes.

This was so cool watching Xavier peel back how he builds his playful, interactive bits of internet, including one I’ve admired for a while for @tryamie. We’ll be publishing lots more of these over the coming weeks.
Good news! We recorded all the talks from ✨Design Engineering Night✨. Kicking things off with this one from the legendary @KMkota0. We'll be uploading the rest soon and compiling them into a playlist so you can rewatch later!

It seems inevitable that in a few years we'll buy stuff aided by machines that help us find the things that fit, both physically and taste-wise.
Early days but @jessmahendrastp is cooking up interesting stuff here. Proud husband!
Built an extension that helps analyse reviews from multiple sources to help me understand the fit and quality of a brand before I buy something from them! It's been somewhat useful… my husband was checking out this shoe brand Norda and having the reviews there was pretty handy!

Designers, grab yourself a bargain!
I run a small team of 6 people.
We spend our weeks:
- Producing shows
- Building software
- Writing and researching
- Designing campaigns
- Closing sales
These are some of the tools we use to run this media + product studio:
- @NotionHQ for all knowledge management
- @meetgranola for recording meetings into Notion
- @boltdotnew for prototyping rough ideas
- @perplexity_ai for research
- @framer for creating websites
- @jittervideo for motion + marketing assets
- @mobbin for finding UI patterns
Tools we’re experimenting with:
- @createwithplay for prototyping our mobile app
- @magicpatterns for building our UI in code
- @Weavy_ai for creating agentic visual workflows
The daily drivers in my tool stack have changed more this year than any year before.
So I asked all of these companies if they’d be willing to give you months of access to their Pro plans to decide if they’re worth adopting.
They said yes.
For the next 3 weeks, you can get up to 6 months of Pro plans for all 10 of these tools for a one-time $129.
I only have 1,000 of these bundles available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone
This applies to new accounts only.
I put the UX Tools Discovery Bundle together so you can meaningfully explore the new tools without inheriting a bunch of additional costs.
It wasn’t easy, so please share this with someone who might get some value out of this.

Proud to have @meetgranola featured on Generative Now! Have a listen to @cjpedregal talking about how we got started and how we’re thinking about building AI products that keep you in the drivers seat
Granola (@meetgranola) is awesome because it doesn't simply outsource your thinking to an AI meeting bot (like all of those weird apps that sit in your Zoom calls).
Instead, it merges your actual, human-written notes with the AI transcript to generate something that's accurate, actionable, and actually useful.
CEO Chris Pedregal (@cjpedregal) joined me on the latest episode of @lightspeedvp's Generative Now to talk about this approach and why Granola has gotten so popular in the tech community so quickly.

Think I came across the concept a while back but wrote it off as sounding too navel-gazey and therefore not that useful. Would be interested in the arguments for the contrary! I used to think that about meditation too but have come around on that
