Build your own Granola with Claude Code

An AI meeting notes app: record meeting audio, live transcript, aI notes merged with your own bullet points and more.

1–2 weeksMore screens, accounts and a backend

The Claude Code prompt

Build my own take on Granola: an AI meeting notes app. Give it an original name, logo, colours and copy, and do not use Granola's name, branding or assets.

Version one should have:
- Record meeting audio
- Live transcript
- AI notes merged with your own bullet points
- Templates per meeting type
- Share notes after the call

The hard part: Capturing audio cleanly. Record in the browser or a desktop app, transcribe with a speech API and summarise with Claude.

How to build it:
1. Read this folder first. If it is empty, set up Next.js (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind) with Postgres through Prisma or Supabase, and Supabase Auth or Auth.js for sign-in. Write a short PLAN.md with the data model, screens, third-party services and what you are leaving out of version one.
2. Build the core loop end to end before anything else: record meeting audio, working with real data saved to the database.
3. Add the rest of the features one at a time, and seed realistic demo data so every screen looks alive.
4. Keep API keys in environment variables, and put any paid service behind a small interface with a local stub, so the app runs on a fresh machine without accounts.
5. Run it, click through every screen on desktop and mobile widths, fix what breaks, and finish with a summary of what works, what is stubbed and how to deploy it.

Paste it into Claude Code in an empty folder. It plans first, so read PLAN.md and steer before it starts building.

Version one

  • Record meeting audio
  • Live transcript
  • AI notes merged with your own bullet points
  • Templates per meeting type
  • Share notes after the call

The hard part

Capturing audio cleanly. Record in the browser or a desktop app, transcribe with a speech API and summarise with Claude.

Make it yours: a niche Granola ignores, an original name and brand, and one feature it does badly done well.
