SeaMeet vs Granola: no bot, records WhatsApp/LINE, meetings become a wiki

Granola is a bot-free notepad that enhances notes you type during meetings. SeaMeet is the other half of that idea: full capture — audio, transcript, summary — for every call, including the WhatsApp and LINE rooms bots can't enter.
