Granola launches new collaborative shared folders, AI citations and advanced model support

Granola has launched its next major 2.0 update, expanding from a personal meeting note tool into a collaborative platform for teams. This expansion introduces shared folders, supporting workflows for sales, customer feedback, hiring processes, and weekly syncs. While these folders enable multiple users to work together, users can also now share meeting transcripts and notes via URL. This feature lets external stakeholders interact with the AI, even without a Granola account.

Granola also adds instant project folders, which let users drag and drop meetings into folders and invite others, making it easier to merge documents. Granola’s AI responses now cite transcript lines directly, giving users verifiable, source-linked answers. The “chat with folders” feature enables analysis across multiple meetings, with each AI output including inline citations and jump-to-source links.

Alongside these changes, Granola integrates advanced reasoning models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini. Users can rely on automatic model selection for complex analysis or pick a preferred AI model themselves. Business and Enterprise accounts also receive a new Browse view, granting the ability to explore any public folder across their company domain. These updates are rolling out now for all existing users.
