Why this topic matters

I run Zapier, over 2 million customers and 800+ people across the globe, from back-to-back meetings all day. Every leader knows the trap: you talk all day and the real work piles up after. What breaks the cycle is an AI system that turns conversations into finished work, and it scales from 5 people to 5,000. Start by recording every meeting with Granola, including this one, and watch it turn into next steps before we’re done.
