Sherlock Calls
for Google Trends + Granola
Google Trends measures real-time search demand and topic popularity by region. Granola captures every meeting as structured, searchable AI notes on macOS. When you need to investigate across both, the evidence is split between two dashboards neither of which knows the other exists. Sherlock Calls bridges them — no code, no exports, no manual joins. Ask once from Slack and get a sourced answer in under 5 seconds.
TL;DR — What beta users get access to
- 1
Sherlock Calls connects to Google Trends, Granola simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Google Trends nor Granola can answer alone. Google Trends shows demand signals — not whether your pipeline and call volume are capturing them. Granola holds what was decided in every meeting — but those decisions are invisible during investigations. Sherlock deduces the complete picture from both.
- 3
No dashboard switching, no manual joins, no fog of uncertainty — ask in Slack and receive a sourced answer with evidence from every connected provider in under 5 seconds. The game is afoot.

The Investigation Gap
What's invisible when you use Google Trends + Granola without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Google Trends content strategy and Granola team output are disconnected
Google Trends shows which topics drive organic traffic. Granola holds the documents, meeting notes, and emails your team is producing. Whether your Granola output aligns with what Google Trends says is driving demand is a question most teams never ask.
Google Trends search trends surface demand that Granola content hasn't addressed
Google Trends shows rising search queries. Granola shows what your team has already documented. The gap — topics the market is searching that your team hasn't covered — is high-value and invisible without correlating both.
Granola institutional knowledge is siloed from Google Trends distribution channels
Your team's best insights live in Granola meeting notes, documents, and emails. The path from that knowledge to content that drives Google Trends organic traffic requires a deliberate bridge that most teams never build.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Google Trends + Granola
How does Sherlock Calls connect Google Trends and Granola data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Google Trends, Granola in parallel, correlates the results by timestamp and shared identifiers, and produces a single sourced answer — the same way a good detective correlates evidence from multiple witnesses.
Do I need to set up any data pipelines between Google Trends and Granola?
- No. Sherlock Calls is entirely pull-based — it queries both APIs on demand when you ask a question. There are no webhooks, no ETL pipelines, no data warehouses, and no code changes required in any of the connected platforms.
What kinds of questions can I ask about my Google Trends + Granola stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — trend acceleration by topic and geography, decision quality and commitment frequency, cross-platform costs, handoff patterns, and performance comparisons. Sherlock translates your plain-English question into the right API calls and returns the deduced answer.
Is my Google Trends and Granola data stored by Sherlock?
- No. Sherlock Calls queries your data in real time and returns results directly to Slack — nothing is stored, indexed, or replicated in any Sherlock database. All data remains in Google Trends and Granola and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Google Trends + Granola integration?
- Elementary — typically under 5 minutes total. Connect each platform with read-only credentials, install the Sherlock Calls Slack app, and ask your first question. No engineering, no dashboards, no onboarding calls required.
