Sway vs. Granola

Granola is a polished AI notepad for back-to-back meetings — it transcribes your call and writes notes after. Sway is something different: a real-time AI assistant that helps you during the conversation. Same Mac, different moment.

Granola helps you remember. Sway helps you in the moment.

Granola is built for after the meeting — clean notes, action items, follow-up emails. If your problem is "I can't remember what was said," that's exactly what it solves.

Sway is built for during the meeting. A customer mentions a competitor, your prospect raises an objection, a stakeholder asks the hard question — Sway surfaces the right talking point in real time. The two are complementary, not interchangeable.

When Granola is the right call

  • You're in back-to-back meetings and need a clean notes pipeline
  • Custom note templates per meeting type matters to your workflow
  • You don't want real-time suggestions — you just want clean recall

For everything else — sales calls, CS calls, discovery calls, demos — Sway is the tool that helps you in the moment.
