Granola co-founder Sam Stephenson runs a $1.5B AI meeting notes company and has changed how he prepares for every meeting using a pre-meeting AI brief. This video breaks down the exact workflow, including Granola's most-used feature: a 'What did I miss?' recap that users reach for more than any other function.
The conversation gets specific about building an AI-native company without burning out your team, and then pivots to a harder question: what does product design mean when AI agents bypass your interface entirely and interact with your data directly. That last thread is the reason to watch in full.
Stephenson is not pitching. He is describing the actual internal logic of a company that has to stay useful as the tools it competes with keep changing. The timestamps reveal a tight 4-minute core of practical workflow before the architecture questions hit.
