Easen is
A real-time meeting copilot and second brain — live answer and question suggestions while you speak, summaries, and searchable memory. Interview Mode is built in.
Granola is
An AI notepad — captures system audio with no bot, enhances your typed notes into summaries and action items after the call, and lets you chat across past meetings.
Granola and Easen share a lot: both run privately without a bot in the call, and both let you search your meeting history with AI. The difference is timing. Granola's AI value lands after the meeting — it enhances the notes you typed into structured summaries. Easen works during the meeting, surfacing live answer and question suggestions while you speak, and adds Interview Mode.
Comparison reflects each product’s public positioning and may change over time. Easen encourages you to try both for your specific use case.
— Where Easen is different
Granola enhances the notes you type once the meeting is over. Easen works during it, surfacing live answer and question suggestions while the conversation is happening.
Easen tailors suggestions to a company and role, formats answers in STAR, and scores your performance — a use case Granola's notepad doesn't cover.
Easen's suggestions draw on your uploaded documents, past conversations, and relationship history — not just the notes you jotted in this meeting.
If you want beautifully simple, bot-free meeting notes that enhance what you jotted down — and you don't need live help speaking during the call — Granola is a delightful choice. Easen shares the bot-free approach but focuses on live in-call answer suggestions, plus interviews.
Both are bot-free — so what's different?
The timing of the AI help. Granola enhances your notes after the meeting; Easen surfaces live answer and question suggestions while you're speaking. Easen also adds Interview Mode.
Do both remember past meetings?
Yes. Granola's chat and Easen's second brain both answer questions across your meeting history.
Does Granola help me with interviews?
Granola is a meeting notepad and doesn't have an interview mode. Easen includes Interview Mode with role-tailored suggestions, STAR formatting, and scoring.
