See exactly how Coworker outperforms Granola for enterprise teams

Capability
CoworkerRemembers & Automates
GranolaNotes & Summarizes
Organizational Memory
OM1 automatically learns who owns what, how projects connect, and how decisions flow. Meeting insights are woven into a living organizational knowledge base spanning all your tools.
Personal AI notepad for individual meetings. No organizational memory or cross-tool context layer.
Meeting Intelligence
Transcripts in 30 seconds, summaries in 1-2 minutes. Meetings auto-feed into OM1, connecting insights to customers, projects, and teams. Cross-meeting pattern recognition surfaces trends automatically.
Enhances your personal notes with AI during meetings. No cross-meeting analysis or organizational linking.
Cross-App Workflows
Chains actions across tools in one step. Meeting action items auto-create Jira tickets, update Confluence, post Slack summaries, and log changes in Salesforce — all informed by organizational context.
Notes stay in Granola's workspace. Sharing requires manual copy-paste or basic integrations. No automated cross-app workflows.
Automated Reports & Summaries
Generates and delivers reports on autopilot. Sprint recaps, pipeline snapshots, weekly digests — scheduled, formatted, and sent with full organizational context from meetings and all connected tools.
Per-meeting AI summaries with customizable templates. No automated cross-meeting reporting or scheduled digests.
Team Collaboration
Network-level admin policies, 4-tier sharing system (Private, Attendees Only, Review Required, Organization-Wide), per-meeting overrides, and configurable auto-join for internal/external meetings.
Primarily individual-focused. Shared folders available but no granular permissions, admin policies, or team-wide controls.
Platform Support
Native support for Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. Plus a full API for ingesting transcripts from any platform — custom video tools, phone calls, or third-party systems.
Mac-only desktop app. Supports Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. No Windows support, no mobile app, no API for external ingestion.
Proactive Alerts & Follow-Ups
Continuously monitors across Salesforce, Jira, Slack, and email. Flags churn risk, stalled deals, and blocked work — then drafts follow-ups and next steps automatically using meeting + tool context.
No proactive monitoring or alerts. Meeting notes are static documents that require manual review and follow-up.
Knowledge Integration
Meeting content automatically flows into the organizational knowledge base. Searchable via Deep Work queries, cited in reports, and connected to projects and customers across all tools.
Notes searchable within Granola only. No integration with broader company knowledge bases, wikis, or documentation systems.
Security & Permissions
SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant. CASA Tier 2 certified. Never trains on your data. Independently audited across 193 tests and 20 controls. Real-time permission enforcement from source systems.
Basic security practices. No SOC 2 or GDPR certifications listed. Limited enterprise security controls and audit capabilities.
Time to Value
Connects to your stack in 48 hours. OM1 starts learning your organization immediately and builds richer context over the first few weeks. No manual training or configuration required.
Quick individual setup — download the Mac app and join a meeting. But value is limited to personal note enhancement with no organizational intelligence.
