Granola AI — Automate Granola with Runner
Turn every meeting into the recap, action items, and follow-ups you actually need.
Runner uses Granola through a native MCP connection. The Electron app's connector guidance is opinionated: search meetings first, read summaries and action items before transcripts, and only go verbatim when you really need it.
What Runner does in Granola
- Find meetings by participant, date, or topic.
- Pull action items and decisions before you open a transcript.
- Use recent meeting context for prep, recap, and follow-through.
Example asks
Search for the right meeting first
Find the two Acme meetings from last week and bring back the most recent one.
Runner locks onto the right conversation before it starts summarizing or drafting anything.
Read summary and action items before transcript
Show me the summary and action items from the Maya investor call, not the full transcript yet.
You get the decisions and next steps quickly without wading through raw transcript text.
Prepare for the next meeting
Pull the open action items from prior calls with this customer before tomorrow's prep.
Runner turns past calls into live prep material instead of static notes.
Escalate to transcript only when necessary
Find who committed to the June rollout date and quote the exact wording from the transcript.
Runner keeps the fast summary path by default but can still recover exact detail when needed.
