Pros & cons
Granola
Pros
- No bot joins the call — works in-person and on phone calls too
- Merges your typed notes with the transcript for better summaries
- Works across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and anything else playing audio
- MCP connections to Claude, Cursor, and Figma
- Privacy-first: notes are private by default
Cons
- 30-day retention on the free tier is a hard limit, not a soft nudge
- Capturing system audio without announcing a bot has consent implications — disclose it
- Desktop-first; the workflow assumes you have the app running
- Fewer CRM-sync integrations than bot-based incumbents
Harvey

- Command Center gives leadership real adoption visibility
Cons
- No public pricing and a long enterprise sales cycle
- Substantially overbuilt for small firms
- Requires change management and firm-wide rollout to pay back
