Granola launches an Apple Watch app
AI note-taking startup Granola has released an Apple Watch app to allow users to record and transcribe meetings without needing their smartphones. The company aims to capture in-person interactions more seamlessly through wearable technology.
Why it matters
The expansion of AI productivity tools into wearable devices signals a shift toward more integrated, ambient computing in professional environments.
AI note-taking app Granola is launching an app for the Apple Watch in hopes that its users will want to record meetings and take notes without using their smartphones.
Users can set the Granola app as one of the watch faces to start transcribing at any time. The app can also surface reminders about upcoming meetings, and works with the iOS app, which launched last year .
The company’s co-founder, Chris Pedregal, told TechCrunch that the Apple Watch app is meant to be a way to capture in-person meetings without having to take your phone out of your pocket — for example, if someone is having a walking one-on-one meeting.
When Granola tested its app with employees who had Apple Watches, a big chunk of their mobile usage switched from iOS to the Watch, the company said.
