Granola
Granola is Alpheous's default connection for the transcript of a recorded call. After a meeting ends, the Meeting Assistant reads the full transcript and produces a summary, pulls out commitments and follow-ups, drafts the outbound follow-up email, and feeds the conversation back into your CRM and the Knowledge Base. Granola is one of two meeting-transcript providers Alpheous supports; if your firm runs on Fireflies instead, see the Fireflies page. Both feed the same Meeting Assistant pipeline, so the agents behave the same either way.
What the Agents Do with Granola
Reading Transcripts
The Meeting Assistant watches Granola for transcripts of your recorded meetings. Once a transcript is ready, the agent reads it in full, with speaker turns and attendee information.
Post-Meeting Summaries
Once the transcript is in, the Meeting Assistant produces a summary in Slack: what was decided, what was discussed, who said what, and what is still open. You read the summary; the agent attaches it to the right contact and deal in HubSpot.
Commitments and Follow-Ups
The Meeting Assistant pulls commitments and action items out of the transcript and presents them as a checklist in Slack. You check the items you want to track. The follow-up email draft is built from the same transcript and posts as a separate approval card.
Voice Sample Extraction
Signal Outreach can learn from how you actually talk on calls. The Meeting Assistant pulls representative passages from your transcripts so outbound drafts written on your behalf read more like you and less like a generic template. You still approve every send.
Signal Extraction for Outreach
Things people say on a call (a competitor mentioned, a filing date confirmed, a question deferred for later) become signals Signal Outreach can act on. A deferred answer surfaces later as a follow-up draft you can approve when you are ready to respond.

How to Tell It Is Connected
When Granola is connected, the Meeting Assistant posts a post-meeting summary in Slack shortly after your Granola transcript is ready. If you hold a recorded meeting and no summary appears, confirm the call was actually recorded in Granola; if it was, contact support@alpheous.com.
