How to Use the Granola Connector in Muse

1. The short answer

As of October 25, 2026, Granola is a live connector in Muse. Granola is the meeting notes app: it records your meetings and writes notes from them, and the Muse connector pulls those notes in so your meetings become searchable memory. It was added on September 18, 2026, and Meta used daily meeting summaries as its own example of what the connector is for. It was named again in the October 7 iPad app release notes, which listed Granola among the supported connections for everyday tasks, and it was still listed in the October 15 in app check, which counted 54 connectors in the web app. There is no October change to how it works. The short version of the value is simple: most of what a team decides is said out loud in a meeting and then forgotten, and this connector is the one that remembers it for you.

Here is the honest version. The Granola connector matters because meetings are where context goes to die. You leave a call with a clear head, and by Friday you cannot remember who promised what, or why a decision was made, or what the open question was. Notes help, but only if you wrote them, and only if you can find them later. Granola writes the notes for you, and Muse makes them askable: what did we decide on Tuesday, who owns the follow up, and what is still open from last week. The rest of this guide covers how to connect it, the daily digest to run first, and the uses that are actually worth your time.

2. What you need

• Muse access. You need an account with access first, in the United States, Canada, or Japan, where Muse has launched.
• One Granola account. The connector works with the Granola account you connect, and only that account. Pick the one where your meetings are recorded.
• Meetings recorded in Granola. Muse can only reason from notes that exist. If a meeting was never recorded in Granola, there is no note for Muse to read, so make sure Granola is running on the calls that matter before you expect answers about them.
• Your Granola sign in. You connect with your Granola account, the same way you sign in to Granola itself.
• Approvals set to ask me. Before you connect anything, set approvals so nothing is created, sent, or shared without your tap. This is the single most important step on this page, because meeting notes hold what people actually said, and that deserves care.

3. How to connect it, step by step

The connection itself takes a few minutes. The setup around it matters more, because meeting notes are other people's words as well as yours, so run the steps in order and do not skip the approvals step at the end.

1. Open Muse and go to Settings. The connectors list lives there. What is printed there is what your account has, because rollout is staged and two accounts can see different lists on the same day.
2. Find Granola in the connectors list and open it. If Granola is not listed, your account has not received it yet. There is nothing to install and nothing you broke. Check again in a few days.
3. Click Connect and review the connection details. Read what Muse is asking for before you accept it. If a scope surprises you, stop and check what it covers before continuing.
4. Sign in to Granola and authorize Muse. Use the Granola account where your meetings are recorded. Remember this is the one account the connector will use, so sign in with the right one the first time.
5. Check which meetings Granola has recorded. Open Granola and look at the last week of notes. If the calls that matter are missing, fix the recording setup in Granola first. Muse cannot read a meeting that was never captured.
6. Set approvals to ask me. In Muse settings, set approvals so that anything that creates, sends, or shares from your meeting notes waits for you. This is what stops Muse from ever sending a summary you have not read.
7. Test with a read only request. Ask Muse what was decided in a meeting you attended yesterday. Read the answer against the Granola note. If it matches, the connection is good. Do not ask it to send anything on the first day.
8. Use it read only for a week. Summaries and searches only. Once you trust what it reads and how it describes your meetings, start approving one small share at a time.

Copy this prompt

You are my meeting assistant. Use my Granola connector only.
Rules: you never send or share a meeting summary without my explicit approval. You read and summarize. I approve every share.
Every morning, do this in order.
1. Summarize every meeting from yesterday. For each one: what was decided, who owns what, and what is still open.
2. Pull out every action item with the owner and the date it was promised.
3. Flag anything where two meetings disagree, and show me both sides.
4. End with the 3 action items I own that are due first, in order.
5. If a quote matters, give me the exact words and who said them. Do not paraphrase quotes.

4. What it actually does

The connector earns its place with five uses. Everything else is a variation on one of them.

The daily meeting digest

Ask Muse each morning for yesterday in meetings: what was decided, who owns what, and what is still open. This is the use Meta itself picked as the example, and it is the one to build a habit around. A good digest takes two minutes to read and replaces the hour you would spend rewatching recordings or asking colleagues what happened. Run it before your first meeting of the day, when yesterday is still close enough to act on and far enough away that you have forgotten the details. Our small business morning briefing guide builds the same habit for owners, with mail, calendar, and meetings in one briefing.

Find what was decided, weeks later

Ask Muse what was decided about a named topic in the last month, and which meeting decided it. This is the use that ends the argument about what was agreed, because the note is the record and Muse can find it. It also ends the quieter problem, which is worse: a decision nobody remembers making, so the team relitigates it every month. When a decision comes up again, ask Muse for the original meeting first. If the note shows the reasoning as well as the decision, you get the why back too, which is the part that usually gets lost first. Check the answer against the Granola note before you quote it as settled, because a summary can flatten a careful decision into a blunt one.

Collect the action items you actually own

Ask Muse for every open action item across this week of meetings, grouped by owner, with the date each one was promised. This is different from a to do list you wrote yourself, because it catches the promises you made out loud in a meeting and then forgot. The Friday version of this is the one that matters most: run it at the end of the week, and treat the list it returns as your closing list. An action item with no owner and no date is not a plan, it is a wish, so ask Muse to flag those too. The ones with no owner are the ones that will still be open next month if nobody claims them.

Prep for the next meeting from the last one

Before a recurring meeting, ask Muse what happened last time: the open questions, the promises made, and the items that were supposed to be done by now. This turns a recurring meeting from a fresh conversation into a continuing one, which is what it is supposed to be. Pair this with the calendar side: our Google Calendar connector guide covers the day briefing, and Granola covers what the last meeting actually left behind. The combination is a prep note that takes thirty seconds to read and makes you the person who remembers, which is a rarer skill than it sounds.

Get the exact words, with the speaker

Sometimes a summary is not enough and you need what someone actually said. Ask Muse for the exact passage, with the speaker named, and it can pull the precise words from the note. Use this when a commitment is being disputed, when a client asked for something specific, or when you need to quote a decision in writing. The rule is simple: a paraphrase is fine for your own planning, and only exact words are good enough for a quote. If Muse gives you a paraphrase when you asked for exact words, ask again and say so plainly. A quote that is almost right is a quote that is wrong.

5. What it cannot do

The limits are honest and worth knowing before you lean on the connector.

• It cannot record a meeting itself. Granola does the recording, and Muse reads the notes Granola wrote. If a meeting was never recorded in Granola, there is no note for Muse to read, and no prompt can bring it back. Make sure Granola is running on the calls that matter.
• It cannot see meetings outside the account you connected. Meetings recorded in another Granola account, another notes tool, or a call that was never captured are invisible to it. It reasons from what you connected, nothing more.
• It cannot guarantee a transcript is exact. Meeting notes are written from speech, and speech is messy: names misheard, numbers garbled, a joke taken as a decision. Check anything that touches money, a deadline, or a client commitment against the note, and against the recording if the stakes are high.
• It cannot attend a meeting for you. Muse can read what happened and brief you on it, but it cannot be in the room, push back on a bad idea, or notice the silence that meant disagreement. A digest is a record of a meeting. It is not the meeting.
• It cannot fix a meeting culture. If your meetings end with no decisions and no owners, Muse will summarize that faithfully, and the summary will be as vague as the meeting was. The connector makes good meetings more useful. It cannot make bad meetings good.

6. What to watch for

As of October 25, 2026, Granola is a settled connector: added September 18, named again in the October 7 iPad app release notes, and still listed in the October 15 in app check. There is no October update to how it works, so the habits around it still matter. The most important habit is the consent habit. Meeting notes are other people's words, and recording is not a detail to skip past. Make sure everyone on the call knows Granola is recording and that notes are being kept. Different teams have different rules about this, and the rules of the room you are in matter more than the defaults of the tool. A summary you share without that care is a trust problem waiting to happen, and trust, once lost in a team, is slow to rebuild.

Be careful with sensitive discussions. Hiring calls, performance conversations, legal matters, and anything with personal information deserve a human read before any summary goes out, even a short one. A digest that names who said what about whom is a document with consequences, so read it before you forward it. Set a rule for yourself: Muse drafts, you read, you approve. The moment you start approving without reading is the moment the connector stops being an assistant and starts being a risk.

Check your data controls. In Muse settings, open Data controls and look at the switch for helping improve the models. If you do not want your chats used for training, turn it off before you start asking Muse to read your meeting notes. That switch controls whether Meta may use your chats to train future models. And remember the account split when you plan: if your work meetings and your personal calls live in different Granola accounts, choose the work one for Muse and keep the personal one to yourself.

Finally, verify the quotes. A meeting digest is only as good as its quotes, and quotes are where small errors do the most damage. When a decision or a promise matters, open the Granola note and read the passage yourself before you repeat it to anyone. Muse is good at finding the passage. You are the one who decides whether it means what the summary says it means. That last check takes a minute, and it is the difference between a team that trusts its notes and a team that argues about them.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Granola connector do in Muse?

It pulls your Granola meeting notes into Muse, so you can ask what was decided, who owns what, and what is still open, in plain words. Granola records the meeting and writes the notes, and Muse makes those notes searchable and summarized.

Does Muse record my meetings?

No. Granola does the recording and writes the notes. Muse reads the notes Granola already wrote. If a meeting was never recorded in Granola, there is no note for Muse to read.

Can Muse share a meeting summary for me?

Only with your approval when your approvals are set to ask me. Set anything that sends or shares from your meeting notes to ask first, and read every summary before it goes out, especially one that names who said what.

Can I use the Granola connector outside the United States, Canada, and Japan?

Not yet. Muse itself has launched in the United States, Canada, and Japan only. Join the waitlist and we will send you a fresh code on launch day in your country.

How accurate are the meeting summaries?

Good enough for planning, and worth checking before you quote them. Meeting notes come from speech, so names and numbers can be misheard. Check anything that touches money, a deadline, or a client commitment against the note itself.

What happens if I disconnect Granola?

Muse loses access to those meeting notes. Your notes stay in Granola, and nothing Muse planned is carried out after you disconnect. You can reconnect the same account or a different one later.
