Granola is the better pick if your entire workflow is meetings, you live inside a single calendar, and you want auto-join + team-shared notes. Typilot wins when meetings are one piece of a larger writing/voice/coding workflow, when you need Linux, or when you want the summary itself to stay local (Granola sends transcript text to cloud LLMs for the summary even though audio stays local).
For the meeting recap use case, yes - and Typilot adds a full local-AI typing/voice/polish/notes layer Granola does not have. Granola is still the right pick if you need calendar auto-join and shared team Spaces.
Granola transcribes on-device but ships the transcript text to cloud LLMs for the summary and follow-up chat. Typilot keeps both transcription AND summary local through Ollama, so the whole pipeline stays on your machine.
No - Typilot records mic + system audio locally and you press a key to start. Granola wins on auto-join via calendar integration.
Yes. Once your local models are downloaded, every feature including summary and chat-with-transcript works offline. Granola needs the network for the summary.
