GranolaGranola
Best for individuals who want quiet, bot-free notes that polish themselves and follow them to mobile.Granola is a bot-free AI notepad for Mac, Windows, and iPhone. It transcribes audio straight from your device, blends AI notes with what you type, and keeps transcripts and notes rather than recordings.

Microsoft Teams AIMicrosoft Teams AI
Strongest choice if every meeting is a Teams meeting and the AI budget is already committed.Microsoft Teams AI is not a product you buy — it is meeting intelligence unlocked by licences on top of Teams. Recording and transcription come with the base plan; recap and AI notes need Teams Premium; in-meeting Q&A needs Copilot.

Microsoft keeps the recording in OneDrive or SharePoint; Granola deliberately keeps only the transcript and notes.

Granola states it does not record or save audio at any point, which suits privacy-sensitive conversations.

How they stack up

Granola keeps only text by design and stays out of the participant list. Microsoft records and retains the meeting in Teams, bundles governance with the base licence, and sells the AI on top.

Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Microsoft answers questions live in the meeting on the Copilot licence and keeps a video recap. Granola works on the notes you type, enhancing them rather than acting during the call.

GranolaMicrosoft Teams AI
GranolaGranola

Granola enhances the notes you type during a call, then lets you chat with one meeting or your whole history from the free plan and auto-draft follow-up emails on paid plans. Recipes save reusable prompts for recurring analyses, and Business plans can pick standard or thinking models. Automation stays manual-first, with Zapier as the push exception.

Microsoft Teams AIMicrosoft Teams AI

Copilot answers questions live in the meeting and across your work data, and Facilitator can take notes as an in-meeting agent. Both need the Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on, listed at $30 per user a month billed annually. Recap, AI notes and AI tasks sit one tier lower, on Teams Premium.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.

Beyond the Integration List

API Access
If your team uses custom tools or internal dashboards, the API lets you pull meeting data — transcripts, summaries, action items — exactly where you need it.
MCP Support
A newer standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read your meeting data directly. No developer needed.
GranolaGranola
Manual-First Connections
Six native integrations — Zapier, Attio, Affinity, HubSpot, Slack, and Notion — ship on the Business plan, desktop only. Exports run per note by hand; Zapier's folder trigger automates pushes into 8,000+ apps. A read-only REST API and an OAuth MCP server open notes to Claude, ChatGPT, and custom tools.
Microsoft Teams AIMicrosoft Teams AI
Developer Build
Microsoft publishes no integrations directory for meeting outputs. Getting a recap into another tool means building it: Graph change notifications fire when a transcript is ready, the Power Automate connector reads transcripts and AI insights, and Work IQ exposes meeting notes to AI assistants. All of it is developer work, not a connector you switch on.
MeetGeek
Automation
Uses a REST API with webhooks — data flows into your tools the moment a call ends. MCP Server connects meeting data directly to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Better suited for real-time automation and broader AI workflow integration.Explore MeetGeek

FAQ

The questions procurement asks.

No. Microsoft does not sell a product with that name. Teams meeting AI comes from two add-ons: Teams Premium at $10 per user a month billed annually, and Microsoft 365 Copilot at $30. Recap and AI notes come with either; in-meeting Q&A and video recap need Copilot specifically.
