FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Granola is an excellent AI meeting notetaker known for beautifully structured notes. Coworker includes meeting intelligence as one feature inside a broader enterprise AI platform. The key difference is what happens after the meeting: Coworker drafts CRM updates, tickets and follow-ups for one-click approval, and automatically feeds a persistent organizational memory. Granola produces notes and follow-up drafts that people then review and act on.

Granola's Business plan includes native HubSpot, Attio, and Affinity integrations that send meeting notes to the matching records. Salesforce and Jira connect through Zapier automations you build, and a native Salesforce connector is in early access. Coworker prepares field-level updates for Salesforce, HubSpot, and Jira based on what was discussed in each meeting, and you approve them in one click.

If you want AI-driven meeting notes, Coworker covers that natively. If you specifically love Granola's interface and note format for personal use, you may prefer to keep both: Granola for beautiful notes and Coworker for enterprise automation. For enterprise teams needing CRM updates, ticket creation, and organizational memory, Coworker is the better fit.

Yes. Coworker works via web browser across any operating system. Granola is available on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android as a downloaded app and captures audio without a bot. Coworker's notetaker joins meetings as a bot participant, which works across all platforms without a local app install. The difference is what happens after the meeting: Coworker drafts CRM updates and tickets for one-click approval and automatically builds organizational memory; Granola produces notes and follow-up drafts that your team reviews and acts on.

Yes. Coworker is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and CASA Tier 2 verified. All meeting data respects existing permission models and is never used to train AI models. Enterprise customers get SSO, RBAC, and dedicated security review.
