Revo vs Granola: a smarter notepad or an agent that acts?

Revo builds and maintains Intelligence Modules — a living memory of your company that updates in real-time. Rather than searching tools when an email arrives, Revo already knows project status, decisions from meetings, and the latest Slack updates before you open your inbox.

If you love Granola purely as a note-taking app, Revo is not a like-for-like swap; Granola's bot-free capture and note-blending are more specialized. Revo captures meetings and then acts on them, drafting follow-ups and updating tools, so it replaces the manual after-meeting work rather than the notepad experience itself.

No human at Revo reads emails. Revo is automated infrastructure using secure APIs (the same ones Gmail/Outlook use) to structure context and draft replies. SOC 2 and ISO 27701 compliant. Data is siloed and never used to train public AI models.

Revo joins meetings to capture them, which is visible to participants. Granola is different: it captures system audio with no bot in the call, so nobody sees a recorder. If bot-free capture matters to you, that is a real point for Granola.

Yes. It works everywhere email operates — directly in Gmail, Outlook, or any preferred email client. After connecting your account, open the Gmail or Outlook app on your phone and drafts are ready to send.

Granola is cheaper, with a free plan (capped at 25 notes of history) and Business at $14 per user per month. Revo starts at $22.50 per user per month and prices in proactive drafting and cross-tool action beyond note-taking.

Setup takes about 30 seconds: click Connect to link your Google or Outlook account. No software installation or Chrome extension needed. Revo runs in the background — open email and drafts appear automatically.

Cancel anytime with one click from your dashboard. Upon leaving, you can request full deletion of your Intelligence Modules and data. We believe you should stay because Revo makes you superhuman, not because your data is held hostage.

Yes. Team usage builds Shared Intelligence, allowing drafts to reference context from colleagues meetings or closed tickets, ensuring a unified voice across the organization.

Yes, optionally. The Meeting Recorder joins calls (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams) to capture decisions and action items, feeding Meeting Intelligence into context modules so email drafts reference discussions from moments ago.

ChatGPT lacks company knowledge and resets conversations. Revo learns decisions, tracks their evolution, cross-links context, and improves daily. It provides full history, sources, and cross-linked impact.
