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 mostly after the meeting, when it enhances the notes you typed; during the call it answers questions when you ask. 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
More than help in the moment.
Live help, not just after-the-fact notes
Granola answers when you ask it during the call and enhances your notes afterwards. Easen offers suggestions on its own the moment a question lands, surfacing live answer and question suggestions while the conversation is happening.
Interview Mode built in
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.
Grounded in your own context
Easen's suggestions draw on your uploaded documents, past conversations, and relationship history, not just the notes you jotted in this meeting.
When Granola might be the better pick
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.
Common questions
Both are bot-free, so what's different?
The timing of the AI help. Granola answers when you ask and 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.
