The honest brief

Granola

Captures system audio with no bot in the call, then blends your raw notes into the AI summary.

  • No bot joins the meeting
  • Works with any video platform
  • Polished notes from your own context
  • AI chat across your notes
  • Stores transcript, not audio/video replay
  • Free tier limits history and integrations
  • Desktop-app dependent capture

Spinach AI

Built for agile teams: it runs standups and retros and pushes action items straight into Jira, Slack, and Linear — not just generic meeting notes.

  • Strong agile / scrum workflow fit
  • Free unlimited recording tier
  • 30+ integrations (Jira, Slack, HubSpot)
  • Auto-pushes action items to your tools
  • Web-only, bot joins the call to capture
  • Less general than horizontal notetakers
  • Pay-per-hour Pro can add up
