Chris, CEO of Granola, addressed the issue of competitors copying their AI meeting notes feature, including Notion, OpenAI, and Zoom. He takes a long-term view, stating that current competition is less important than capturing future opportunities in the evolving AI landscape. He also noted that they were inspired by earlier meeting note-taking AI.
“I think we are in the very, very early steps of a computing revolution. And that, um, what has come thus far will pale in comparison to what will come soon.”
“what people are fighting for today doesn't matter. There's this incredible opportunity ahead and I think we have a shot at it and a few other companies have a shot at it, right?”
