How to Connect Granola to AI: Ask What Was Decided in Your Meetings

Granola captures every meeting. The challenge is finding the one line you need a week later: what did we decide, who said they’d do it. Connecting Granola to AI lets you ask across all your meetings at once.

This guide shows how to connect Granola to Viro AI, the free AI assistant with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Viro’s own model in one app, and what you can do once it’s connected.

What you can do when Granola is connected to AI

• Answer what was decided, or who’s doing what, across your meetings
• Find a meeting and read its notes and Granola’s summary
• Show which meetings you had in a stretch of time, with dates and attendees
• List your folders and read full transcripts, on a paid Granola plan

What it won’t do: edit, share or delete a note, create meetings or folders, change anything in Granola, or read transcripts or folders on Granola’s free plan.

How to connect Granola to AI, step by step

1. Open Viro AI at ai.viro.app, or in the iPhone, Android or Mac app, and sign in. It’s free.
2. Go to Customize → Connectors, open Granola and select Connect to Viro.
3. Sign in to Granola and approve the access it asks for.
4. Check that it’s connected. Back in Viro, Granola is listed under Yours.

What to ask Granola once it’s connected

Once it’s connected, just ask in any chat. Use your own names and dates.

Decisions

• “What did we decide in yesterday’s meeting?”
• “What action items came out of my meetings this week?”

People

• “What did Priya say about the budget in Tuesday’s meeting?”
• “Which meetings did I have with the design team this month?”

Across your apps

With Asana or Todoist connected: “Add the action items from today’s meeting as tasks.” Each one waits for your OK.

Read-only by design

Viro only looks things up in Granola. It never edits, shares or deletes a note.

Good to know

• Granola’s free Basic plan gives apps only your notes from the last 30 days, without transcripts or folders. Older meetings, transcripts and folders need a paid plan.
• Notes and transcripts include what everyone said, so a question about a meeting can bring up other people’s words.

Is it private?

Viro reads your Granola data only to answer what you ask. It is never used to train AI models and Viro never sells your data. Free-plan ads are matched to words in the current conversation, never to your identity or your connected apps, and no human reads your chats.

To disconnect, open Granola in Customize → Connectors and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored.

Why use Viro for Granola?

• More than one model. Ask with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Viro’s own model, and switch mid-conversation.
• Free. Connectors are included on every plan, including Free, on web, iPhone, Android and Mac.
• All your apps in one place. More than 40 connectors, so one question can cover your email, calendar, files and work apps together.
• Clean energy. Viro’s own model runs in data centers powered by hydro, geothermal and wind, and Viro funds new clean energy to match its partner models. See the data centers.
