@anuraggoel Hey @anuraggoel wanna hop on a call and let me know what you don't like with Granola notes?

We're going deep on this next quarter and want to nail it.

[Tejas @suptejas]

Dimension is joining Granola.

After nearly four years of building, our mission found a bigger home.

More details in the thread.

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

@robjama we'll be cooking

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

I met @suptejas back in January and saw what him and his team were building would fit seamlessly into the ambitions at @meetgranola

We have the best context and companies itching to put it to use.

So stoked to bring him in and solve these problems together

[Granola @meetgranola]

The team behind @JoinDimension is joining Granola to help build what’s next.

Welcome, @suptejas!

@nielsgeo @meetgranola Hey @nielsgeo, can you dm me with more details on what doesn't feel smart?

We do route to the correct models but we're actively looking to make step changes in our harness irrespective of the model and seems like this is an us problem not a model problem

On the day America celebrated the IPO of its biggest space company, Britain found out its government is banning underfloor heating.

The decline of our country is not inevitable, it is the choice of the rotten political class.

Granola SF, alive and kickin 🌉

Zack hates business so much he is willing to smear people who he has never had the privilege to interact with

As someone who worked with Laura at 10DS, I know her motivations are grounded in nothing other than advancing technology for the good of the country

Oracle’s £250m gift to the Tony Blair Institute appears to buy you an entire Question Time episode.

5/ Live today for everyone.

Also shipping a new set of Recipes alongside it — saved prompts like /How I have changed and /Prep my day.

Try it and let us know what you think 🥣

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

🧵1/ We rebuilt Granola Chat from the ground up. It's now agentic — which means it actually knows how to work across your meeting notes, not just the one in front of you.

A salesperson asking "what's the state of this customer?" now spans months of conversations, not just weeks.

[Granola @meetgranola]

We've rebuilt Granola Chat from the ground up to be agentic.

So now, it handles quick questions faster and deeper questions more thoughtfully.

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

4/ Asking about the meeting in front of you? It reads the full notes.

Asking across a folder? It scopes retrieval there.

Asking across everything? It searches the whole corpus, shortlists, then reads the promising ones.

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

@davidgomes @braintrust @davidgomes this is a huge part of how our team spends our time, would love to chat more with you on this

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Granola raises $125M, hits $1.5B valuation as it expands from meeting notetaker to enterprise AI app https://t.co/i5aigoeiyC

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

Pretty huge start to the year, we're going to embed agents into the heart of everything Granola does, taking actions on your behalf.

By the end of year 1B is going to look quite cute 🚀

[Chris Pedregal @cjpedregal]

Today we're announcing our Series C alongside some big updates that make @meetgranola better for your team and your tools.

Excited to partner with Danny at Index and Mamoon at KP. Big things to come. Back to work!

[Toby Drane @toby_drane]

@zachmoskow @meetgranola @zachmoskow this will be shipping with the next prod release (probably sometime this week) 🚀
