The app integrates directly with existing Apple Watch faces, allowing users to initiate transcription with a single tap. It also syncs with the primary iOS version, which debuted last year, to provide timely reminders for upcoming calendar events. According to co-founder Chris Pedregal, internal testing revealed that employees frequently shifted their mobile usage to the wearable device once the functionality became available.

Granola Expands AI Note-Taking to Apple Watch
Recording an in-person meeting no longer requires reaching for a smartphone. AI note-taking startup Granola is launching an Apple Watch application designed to capture audio and transcribe conversations directly from the wrist, targeting users who prefer seamless, hands-free interaction during walking meetings or quick one-on-one sessions.
While competitors have explored dedicated hardware for audio capture, Granola opted to leverage the existing Apple ecosystem to streamline development. This release follows a significant growth period for the company, which achieved unicorn status earlier this year after securing $125 million in a Series C funding round led by Index Ventures. The move places Granola in direct competition with other dictation tools like Monlogue that have recently expanded into similar wearable, multi-modal transcription services.
