Technically, this hardware/software is solid. It captures data, and provides several models that analyze it. Irrespective of what industry you are in, the ability to synthesize information in a manner which allows conceptualize it and ultimately utilize it, is worth its weight in gold. In order for this application to reach its full potential there need to be two advances: 1) a transparent statement from the company pertaining to how data will be protected and 2) an ability for the data to be quickly and resolutely integrated into other software systems. In essence, security and movement will dictate the success of this technology. I hope the developers consider those two factors as they move forward. That said, excellent work, I look forward to seeing what’s next.

I grabbed this as a backup to my Notability app, because I would either leave class with it running, or accidentally stop recording during a critical review or lecture. What I found later simply impressed me. With the ability to build summary model, you can use this tool and its AI to adapt lectures or meetings to the way you want them organized. As someone with an attention disorder, this has made learning much more efficient. I'm actually able to participate more in labs and classes knowing that I have customized notes being generated for me to look back at later at home.

This app is already pretty solid out of the gate, and the Pocket team shows promise in actively making enhancements. That said, there are some key things missing currently that make it really tough to give up Granola in favor of just using my Pocket. Most importantly is a custom “dictionary” feature. The AI summaries get my company name wrong all over the place and it’s a real bother to share notes with anyone because of this. Also I work with a large team of Indian developers and… let’s just say without a dictionary every single transcription butchers people’s names to the point that I’m not even sure who is being referenced. With that single fix this goes from a 4 star app and product to a 5 star must have app and product for anyone working a job with a ton of high stakes / fast paced meetings.

This device and app are going to change my life!I have only just begun to explore the capabilities of what this can do, and I am already blown away. The sky is the limit with this device and app. As an early backer, I can see how responsive the team behind this is. They are literally taking our feedback and changing things on the fly.If you have ADHD, take notes in a meeting and when you look back up you realize you missed the end of their thought, or just needed someone to tell your crazy 3 AM shower idea to, this thing is for you.
