Our take

Anyone who's tried coding in a modern code editor (an integrated development environment, or IDE) would balk at the idea of trying to use a basic text editor for coding. However, knowledge workers typically use a simple text editor for just about everything. Until now it's been difficult to do much about this, but large language models have recently advanced to the point where it should be possible for a tool to understand the context of any writing activity and anticipate the next steps for the user.

Granola, a London startup, is seeking to make this context-aware editor, building AI into text editing tools to augment the abilities of its users in the same way an IDE does for a coder. As something like VS Code crossed with Copilot, but for knowledge work, its solution will draw on the wider context of a workplace (not just the contents of the current document but also planned meetings, notes, emails and other information) to help with the task at hand.

The company is currently pre-product and is rounding out its founding team. With a second-time founding team (one of the founders' previous startups was acquired by Google) and plenty of support from investors who believe in the product direction (including Lightspeed Ventures, the co-founder of Instagram and former Facebook and Google talent), it will be exciting to see how Granola delivers on its vision over the coming months and years.
