Granola

Meeting transcripts, prep, and follow-up tasks.

What it does

Granola records and transcribes your meetings. Patina uses those transcripts to build meeting context into your briefings and digests, prep you before upcoming meetings with attendee context and open items, and extract tasks from what was discussed.

Setup

1

Install Granola

Download Granola for Mac. Create an account and connect it to your calendar so it can detect meetings automatically.

2

Connect via Claude

Go to claude.ai/settings/connectors and connect Granola. This gives Claude access to your meeting list and transcripts.

3

Set up meeting skills (optional)

For meeting prep and task extraction, paste this into Claude Code:

Set up meeting skills for my Patina. Create two skills: /meeting-prep (pulls attendee context, recent conversations, open tasks, and relevant threads before a meeting using Granola MCP tools) and /meeting-tasks (reviews Granola meeting transcripts and proposes task updates based on what was discussed, presenting a numbered list for me to accept or decline). Use list_meetings and get_meetings to access transcripts.

This creates /meeting-prep and /meeting-tasks skills.

4

Test it

After your next meeting, run /meeting-tasks in Claude Code. It will review the transcript and propose tasks from what was discussed.

How it works

Granola's MCP server provides access to your meeting list and transcripts. Patina calls list_meetings to find recent meetings and get_meeting_transcript to read the full content. Meeting prep cross-references attendees with your people files and open tasks. Meeting tasks uses the transcript to extract action items and propose task updates.

Granola runs locally on your Mac and records audio from your system — transcripts stay on your machine until you explicitly share them.
