📞 How to take AI notes on phone calls
The Rundown: In this guide, you will learn how to set up an AI notetaker that works with any call on your iPhone. You probably know about AI notetakers for web, but most people don’t know that you can also do it on both outbound and inbound phone calls.
Note: Check the recording consent laws for your state before recording your calls.
Step-by-step:
Install Granola from the App Store, open it, tap the phone icon in the bottom left to set up. Enter your number, then follow the verification instructions To make a call, tap the phone button, pick a contact/type a number, and call. The call works like a normal one, but Granola is listening in the background. After hanging up, wait a minute. Granola will give a summary with action items and anything worth remembering. No need to stay on screen during processing. If you want to use Granola for an inbound call, you can open the app and create a new note. It will only be able to transcribe your voice though
Pro tip: Name notes in a format like [name] @ [company], create folders for work and personal calls. You can also connect Notion, Zapier, Slack, HubSpot, or your CRM
