AI note-taking app Granola is launching an app for Apple Watch in hopes that its users will want to record meetings and take notes without using their smartphones.
Users can set the Granola app as one of the watch faces to start transcribing at any time. The app can also show reminders about upcoming meetings and works with the iOS app, which launched last year.
Company co-founder Chris Pedregal told TechCrunch that the Apple Watch app is intended to be a way to capture in-person meetings without having to take your phone out of your pocket, for example if someone has a one-on-one meeting walking around.
When Granola tested its app with employees who had Apple Watches, a large portion of their mobile usage switched from iOS to the Watch, the company said.
Last year, companies launched auxiliary devices that can be used with smartphones to record and transcribe meetings. Granola said it considered it easier to develop an app for Apple Watches rather than integrate it with another hardware product at this time. Dictation app Monlogue earlier this year also added support for taking notes in meetings, both online and offline, along with support for Apple Watch.
Granola became a unicorn earlier this year with a $125 million Series C round led by Index Ventures.
