Enterprise-Grade Transcription Solutions

Originally designed as a prosumer app for discreet meeting transcription, Granola has evolved to meet the needs of enterprise users. The platform now includes collaborative note-taking features and serves major companies such as Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack, Asana, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon, and Mistral AI.

Advanced Workspaces And API Integrations

Granola introduced Spaces, a feature that allows teams to organize notes into folders with access controls. Feature targets internal collaboration and knowledge management. The company also launched two APIs. Personal API supports individual and business users, while enterprise API allows administrators to manage team-level data and integrate notes into workflows.

Addressing User Concerns And Future Directions

Co-founder Chris Pedregal said updates to data management follow user feedback on local storage and access. The company continues to develop its MCP server to improve note organization and sharing. Competition in AI meeting tools is increasing, with companies adding features such as automated summaries and CRM integration. Granola is expanding its product to support similar use cases.

New “Think” Button For More Complex Questions

Alongside unlimited text chats, Free and Go users will gain access to a new “Think” button, allowing them to use additional reasoning power for more complex queries.

OpenAI noted that separate usage limits will continue to apply to file uploads, image generation, voice features and other multimodal tools.

Faster Responses For Paid Subscribers

The update also brings improvements for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers. They will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol, an upgraded model designed for everyday tasks such as web research, planning, writing, decision-making and answering questions. According to OpenAI, the model delivers shorter, more robust responses.

The company noted that this version is separate from the GPT-5.6 Sol model used in Codex and Work, which remains unchanged. Plus and Pro subscribers will also receive a new thinking slider, allowing them to adjust how much reasoning the model applies before generating an answer, depending on the complexity of the task.

OpenAI Reports Fewer Errors

According to OpenAI’s internal testing, GPT-5.6 Luna produces 62% fewer factual errors than GPT-5.5 Instant, while GPT-5.6 Sol reduces factual errors by 68%.

The updated GPT-5.6 Sol model is available to Plus and Pro users starting today. The remaining features for Free and Go users will roll out throughout the week, with unlimited text chats and the new Think button becoming available next week.
