AI note-taking app Granola adds a repeatable prompts feature

Chatbot platforms like ChatGPT and Poe have allowed users to create repeated prompts in the form of GPTs and apps. Lately, browsers like Dia and Opera Neon have added a way for people to get repeated tasks done in the form of skills and cards.

Now, meeting notetaker Granola is bringing its own spin with a feature called Recipes, which lets you create a prompt shortcut you can use again and again. You can invoke a recipe by using “/” in Granola chat and typing its name.

You can create your own recipes by typing in a prompt and giving it context of either one meeting or having it work across meetings. The company also has a guide to help you form effective recipes. You can share them with other users who might want to execute similar prompts, too.

Granola also has a library of pre-existing recipes that you can use. The company divides recipes into before, during, and after meeting categories.

Granola co-founder Chris Pedregal said that at the moment, the app and meetings are the context for these repeatable prompts. However, the startup will work on letting you connect to other services to expand the context and feed more data to recipes.

“When we talked to users, we heard from them that they often copy their transcripts to ChatGPT or Claude, and ask questions to the chatbot. With this new feature, they can get the full context of Granola and execute bespoke prompts,” he told TechCrunch.

Besides Granola, other meeting notetakers such as Fireflies, Fathom, and Circleback also offer templates and prompt-based insight generation. However, most of them work after the meeting has concluded.
