FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Granola
How does Sherlock Calls connect to Granola?
- Sherlock connects to Granola using your API key from Granola Settings > API on macOS. The key is passed in API request headers and provides read-only access to all notes captured under your Granola account. No OAuth flow is required — setup takes under 2 minutes.
What is Granola and how does it capture meeting notes?
- Granola is an AI meeting notes app for macOS that captures system audio from any video conferencing tool — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or others — without requiring a bot to join the meeting. It transcribes audio locally and generates structured AI summaries with action items, decisions, and key points. Notes are stored in your Granola account and are accessible via API.
Can Sherlock Calls search Granola notes by keyword or date?
- Yes. The granolaSearchNotes tool accepts keyword queries and date range filters. Ask 'Find all notes mentioning contract renewal this quarter' or 'Search for meetings with Acme Corp in January' and Sherlock returns matching notes with titles, dates, and relevant content excerpts.
Can Sherlock correlate Granola meeting notes with voice call records?
- Yes. When Granola is connected alongside a voice provider such as Twilio or ElevenLabs, Sherlock can combine AI meeting notes with call data — for example, find the Granola note from the meeting that followed a critical escalation call, or identify which calls had no associated meeting note.
Is Sherlock Calls read-only on Granola?
- Yes. Sherlock uses the Granola API in read-only mode — it can search, list, and retrieve note content, but never creates new notes, modifies existing notes, or deletes any meeting record. Your Granola data remains completely unaffected by Sherlock's queries.
