Platforms such as ChatGPT and Poe have enabled users to set up recurring prompts as GPTs and apps. Recently, browsers like Dia and Opera Neon have introduced features that let users automate repetitive actions through skills and cards.
Now, the meeting assistant Granola is introducing its own approach with a tool called Recipes, which allows you to save prompt shortcuts for repeated use. To activate a recipe, simply type “/” in the Granola chat followed by the recipe’s name.
To make your own recipes, you just need to enter a prompt and decide whether it should apply to a single meeting or be available across multiple meetings. Granola also provides a guide to help you craft effective recipes. You can share your recipes with others who might want to use similar prompts.
There’s also a collection of ready-made recipes in Granola’s library for you to try. These recipes are organized by when they’re used: before, during, or after meetings.
Chris Pedregal, Granola’s co-founder, explained that for now, these reusable prompts are limited to the app and meeting context. However, the team plans to allow integration with additional services in the future, broadening the context and enabling recipes to access more data.
“When we spoke with users, many mentioned that they often paste their transcripts into ChatGPT or Claude to ask questions. With this new feature, they can leverage Granola’s full context and run custom prompts directly,” he shared with TechCrunch.
In addition to Granola, other meeting note tools like Fireflies, Fathom, and Circleback also provide templates and prompt-driven insights. However, most of these features are only available after the meeting ends.
