Turn Granola Notes Into Investor Updates
Investor reporting becomes a structured workflow instead of a recurring scramble.
CONNECTOR
GranolaGranola connector
Start with meeting summaries and action items, then drill into transcripts only when the job requires it.
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.
Granola in real workflows
The app page is only useful if it shows how Granola fits into a real job. This preview is pulled from the live workflow pages that already use the connector.

These examples are grounded in the real Runner backend connector definitions and connector guidance docs, not generic marketing filler.
Granola
Search for the right meeting first
Search by participant, topic keyword, or date range to disambiguate the meeting you want.
"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.
Granola
Read summary and action items before transcript
Use Granola's structured meeting summary and action items as the default read path.
"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.
Granola
Prepare for the next meeting
Review open commitments and prior action items from past meetings before the next one starts.
"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.
Granola
Escalate to transcript only when necessary
Read the full transcript when the user needs verbatim quotes or speaker-level detail.
"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.
