Granola Adds Natural Language Editing to AI Meeting Notes.

Granola rolled out a natural language editing feature that lets users modify their AI-generated meeting notes by typing simple requests instead of manually rewriting content.

The update, announced on LinkedIn, adds three core editing capabilities: changing tone (rewrite to sound like a pirate), adjusting length (make this shorter or more detailed), and correcting specific details (fix the spelling of Niall to Nyal).

Users can now type editing instructions directly into Granola instead of manually rewriting sections of their meeting notes. The feature processes natural language commands and applies changes to the generated content in real time.

The tone-shifting capability goes beyond basic formality adjustments. Users can request rewrites in specific styles, though Granola's example of "sound like a pirate" suggests the feature handles creative or unconventional tone requests alongside standard professional adjustments.

Length controls let users compress verbose notes or expand brief summaries without starting from scratch. This addresses a common friction point with AI note-taking tools, where initial outputs often miss the mark on detail level for specific use cases.

The precision editing feature handles granular corrections like name spellings, titles, or technical terms that AI transcription might misinterpret. Rather than hunting through paragraphs to fix errors manually, users can describe the change and let Granola locate and update the content.

This builds on Granola's recent trajectory of making AI outputs more malleable. The company added GPT-5 support to its Ask Granola feature in recent months and has been steadily expanding how users can interact with their meeting transcripts beyond passive consumption.

Natural language editing represents a shift from treating AI-generated notes as final artifacts. Most meeting tools, including competitors in the automated transcription space, still require users to export to text editors or manually revise content if the initial output needs adjustment.

Granola positions itself as an AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings, emphasizing speed and flexibility over comprehensive feature sets. The editing capability fits that positioning by reducing the time between generating notes and having a usable final version.

The update arrives as Granola continues building out integrations with workplace tools. The company launched a Zapier integration for automating post-meeting workflows and added connections to CRM platforms like Attio for customer-facing teams.

The company invited users to test the feature and share feedback, suggesting this may be an initial release with room for expansion based on real-world usage patterns.
