The AI-in-manufactured noted tool Granola has been on a roll. The startup saw a steep sharp in use since the launch was launched a year ago, thanks to the word of the mouth between Most VCS And FoundersBut a big driver appears to be the fact that people are using it more than its core pitch – automatic noting for meetings.
Grenola co-founder, Chris Pedregal, told Techcrunch that the company’s users are using Grenola to take personal notes, which helps them to make all their information, both from work and otherwise, the AI of the app is available from the Pars and Surface Insights. “(People) have Grenola open all day because they have a lot of meetings, so it is like (…) where they are starting to live,” he said.
Pedaregail stated that Grenola’s organic popularity amid diversity in tech congestion and diversity affairs has helped its user base to increase 10% every week since its launch, although he did not say how many users are currently.
Behind that rapid growth and popularity, Grenola said on Wednesday that it had raised $ 43 million in a series B funding round led by Net Freedman and Daniel Gross Venture firm, NFDG on an $ 250 million evaluation.
The participation of current investors LightSpeed and Spark was also seen in this era, along with Angel investors, including Gilromo Rouch of Veresel, Amjad Masad of Replat, Tobias Liteke of Shopif and Karri Sarinan of Linier. This round increases the total funds of the company by $ 67 million.
Along with this funding, Grenola is expanding its remit beyond its current single-user focus, which is to make themselves more useful for businesses: it is introducing a new cooperation facility that allows users to share tape and notes with teammates, and enabled the AI of the app to details of the notes.
Users in an organization can create a custom folder to make various associate use cases such as sales calls, customer response and hiring. App will also allow users to share meeting notes with those who do not use Grenola so that they allow them chat with their AI and ask it questions.
Other meetings offer transcription and noting apps, such as AI, Fireflies and Otter, already similar shared-space features. However, Pedragail says that Grenola is more than noting. “I think Grenola is different from other notaters that it is very personal and you are under control all the time. You can edit notes at any point. It’s not just about capturing a meeting, but this is a place where you can work, even posting meetings,” He said.
Earlier this month, Grenola updated its app to enable users. Ask AI Bot Questions about all meetings It was recorded. Construction on it, the company will now allow users to also ask questions about specific folders.
Grenola’s new colleague focus is part of a comprehensive trend-AI-managed meeting transcription and noting tools are expanding their focus and Construction integration with other equipment As they try to become a hub that stores and allows users to find through knowledge from various sources.
Meanwhile, productivity suites are introduced to customers to prevent customers from using other apps for that purpose. For example, Dharna launched an AI meeting noting tool yesterday.
Mike Mignano of LightSpeed believes that this place has an edge due to Grenola’s interface and user experience.
“Since the beginning, the company is a correct mix of human control of taking AI transcript and note. Now that they are building references in meetings and making notes shared, the product has become strong. With these characteristics, the long -term reference will be for users and teams in Granola, will have long -term reference to users and teams, kicking the network effects for startups,” he said.
