"I think it's very, very early days in this new wave of AI, particularly on the user interface interaction side of things. The technology developed very quickly, but it takes human time to figure out the right interaction patterns."
"Granola is betting on a new approach to AI-enhanced note-taking. The London-based startup doesn't record audio or video or send bots into your meetings. Instead, its tool sits on your computer or phone, transcribing in real time while you maintain control."
"You can jot notes alongside its transcription, building a personal knowledge base instead of a raw archive of recordings. The viral spread of its tool helped the company raise $43 million last year, bringing its total funding to $67 million at a valuation of $250 million."
Current AI interfaces, particularly chat-based systems like ChatGPT, represent an early, inefficient stage of human-AI interaction comparable to lever steering in early automobiles. Granola, a London-based startup founded by Chris Pedregal, proposes a more sophisticated approach to AI-enhanced note-taking. Rather than recording audio or video, Granola transcribes conversations in real time on users' devices while allowing them to add personal notes simultaneously, creating an organized knowledge base. The tool has gained significant traction, raising $43 million in funding and reaching a $250 million valuation. Pedregal argues that while AI technology developed rapidly, discovering optimal user interaction patterns requires time and experimentation.
