Granola’s lesson is refreshingly simple: the best AI product may be the one that quietly removes a daily annoyance. In a market crowded with grand claims, note-taking works because the pain is obvious and the payoff is immediate.
This is the product story Pagish wants to track more closely: AI that earns trust through repeated usefulness, not spectacle.
Most users do not care how advanced a feature sounds. They care whether it saves time without adding review work, privacy worries, or another messy workflow.
