​

importing your granola history

miniti can import the csv requested from Granola’s profile settings. it preserves the fields present in the export, labels imported meetings, and skips duplicate source ids on repeated imports. Granola’s current bulk export normally includes titles and summaries but not full transcripts. see import from granola before migrating so you know what to expect.

​

data and model training

miniti stores meeting history locally and does not use meeting content to train models. Granola says free and business users can opt out of its use of anonymized data in settings; enterprise can enforce the choice across an organization. see Granola’s models and training documentation.

is miniti cheaper than granola?

for managed individual use, yes: miniti pro is $5/month on macos or$4.99/month on ios, while Granola business is $14/user/month. the free plans use different limits - miniti meters 500 minutes each month and keeps full local history, while Granola allows unlimited meetings but limits free history.

​

can i move from granola to miniti?

yes. request the csv from Granola profile settings, then import it from miniti settings. miniti prevents duplicate imports. full transcripts can only be imported when they are present in the csv, and Granola’s standard bulk export currently omits them.

does granola have speech coaching?

Granola’s published plans focus on notes, ai chat, templates, collaboration, and integrations. they do not list an equivalent set of live filler, talk-ratio, pace, monologue, question, and clarity metrics.

​

can i use my own api keys with miniti?

yes. byok uses your own deepgram and openai keys for unlimited usage. you pay those providers directly.
