The Advantage of Side-by-Side Comparison

By using the same template (such as the 'Hiring' template) for every meeting, you can easily perform side-by-side comparisons because the information structure remains consistent for every candidate.

Productivity Tips with Recipes

Recipes are more than just summaries; they can identify 'blind spots' in discussions or draft follow-up emails, saving you time from manually rewriting the same input.
Step by Step

How to Use AI Templates to Format Notes

  1. Open your recorded meeting notes in the Granola AI dashboard.
  2. Click on the 'Templates' menu located at the top or side of your AI-enhanced notes.
  3. Select the template that best fits your meeting type (e.g., 'Product Demo' or 'Hiring Interview').
  4. Wait a moment while the AI re-analyzes the transcript to restructure the notes according to the chosen template.
  5. Review specific sections like 'Next Steps' or 'Meeting Context' that have been automatically formatted by the AI.

Generating Quick Summaries with Recipes

  1. Click on the 'Recipes' button or menu within the meeting notes view.
  2. Select the type of AI task you need from the dropdown list (e.g., 'Write a too long, didn't read' or 'Follow-up email').
  3. Click on the 'Write a too long, didn't read' option to get an instant TLDR summary.
  4. Use other options like 'Create Linear ticket' if you want to convert your notes directly into a work task.
  5. The AI-generated results will appear immediately for you to review or copy.

Creating Custom Templates & Sharing Notes

  1. If your meetings follow a recurring pattern, click the option to create your own 'Custom Template'.
  2. Define the section structure you want so the AI can generate consistent notes for every new meeting session.
  3. To share your notes, click the 'Share' button.
  4. Enter the recipient's email address in the field provided or select an app integration like Google to send the notes.
