Granola launches dictation on Mac and says iOS, Windows support is coming

Voice AI app Granola has rolled out a new dictation feature for Mac, adding a product line that puts it in more direct competition with Wispr. Users can trigger the tool with a keyboard shortcut and use it across apps, including for notes, emails, and message replies. The company said the feature will also arrive on iOS and Windows soon. Granola is best known for its meeting transcription product, while rival Wispr has focused more specifically on dictation tools. According to TechCrunch, the two companies are valued at $1.5 billion and $2 billion, respectively. The update broadens Granola’s use cases beyond meeting capture and into general-purpose text input across desktop workflows.

Google launches AI Edge Foresight for offline meeting transcription and notes

Google has launched a new app called AI Edge Foresight, according to Techub, citing TechCrunch. The product is positioned as a competitor to Granola and focuses on offline-first meeting assistance. It can transcribe conversations, generate notes, and answer questions. Google is running all of those features through on-device AI, rather than relying on a cloud-first setup. The brief points to AI Edge Foresight as a meeting note tool built around local processing, with offline use as a core part of the product design.

Meta opens Muse to third-party connectors as personal AI agent ecosystems expand

Meta has opened Muse Connectors to third-party developers, allowing outside services to plug directly into Muse. Under the setup, developers provide the API, while Muse handles the agent layer, browser access and user context. Users can state what they want done, and Muse calls the relevant service to complete the task. At launch, Muse already supported services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Spotify and OpenTable, though those connectors were mainly built by Meta. The first new third-party additions are Notion and meeting notes tool Granola. The move places Meta more directly into the competition around personal AI agent ecosystems, where ChatGPT and Grok Bot already have their own plugin and service networks. The underlying shift described here is from users opening apps to find functions, toward agents routing requests to services in the background. Control of that layer could matter in the race for the next application distribution gateway.
