We wrote most of this article using this recipe! Feel free to reuse or remix it. Recipes are reusable prompt templates that help you quickly get insights from your meeting notes without typing the same questions repeatedly. Instead of manually crafting detailed instructions each time you want to analyze your notes, you can save your favorite prompts as recipes and run them with a single click.

​
Accessing recipes

You can bring up the recipes menu by typing forward slash (/) in the floating chat bar. This will display all available recipes, including default ones provided by Granola, recipes you’ve created, and any shared by your team. image.png Alternatively, you can browse all recipes from the sidebar menu, which opens a dedicated recipes tab. image.png

​
Browsing and finding recipes

The recipes tab organizes your prompts into several sections to help you find what you need. image.png The Discover section highlights recommended recipes created by the Granola team and some of our community, that showcase useful ways to analyze your notes. Your personal recipes appear under My recipes, while Workspace recipes shows prompts shared by your team members. You can search for specific recipes using the search bar - it searches the recipe text itself as well as the title.

​
Creating a recipe

  1. Open the recipes menu by typing / in the chat bar, or navigate to the recipes tab
  2. Select “Create a recipe”
  3. Give your recipe a name - this is what you’ll type into chat as a shortcut
  4. Write your prompt with detailed instructions for what you want analyzed and how you want the results formatted
  5. Choose where the recipe should be available:
    • Single meetings — the recipe appears in individual meeting chats, including during live meetings and after they end.
    • Multiple meetings — the recipe appears on the home screen, in folders, people view, company view, or when you select multiple meetings. It won’t appear in individual meeting chats.
    Each recipe can only be one type. If you want the same prompt available in both contexts, create a separate recipe for each.
  6. Click into Advanced settings if you want to select a specific AI model:
    • Standard models work quickly for most tasks
    • Thinking models take longer but handle complex analysis better
  7. Save your recipe
  8. Once you’ve saved your recipe, you can publish it to your Granola workspace, or share it via a link. You can control who can access the link:
    • Private
    • Anyone in your workspace
    • Anyone with link
    Sharing a recipe via a link will allow anyone to try it on their meeting notes, add it to their saved recipes or edit their own version of it. They won’t be able to edit your version of the recipe or see any of your meeting notes.

Editing and deleting recipes

You can edit or delete any recipe you’ve created. To edit a recipe:
  1. Open the recipe from My recipes
  2. Click the pencil icon in the recipe detail view to enter edit mode
  3. Make your changes
  4. Click Save
To delete a recipe:
  1. Open the recipe from My recipes
  2. Click the pencil icon to enter edit mode
  3. Click the trash icon in the bottom left corner to delete the recipe
The Remix button appears on recipes created by others and lets you create your own editable copy. You won’t see it on your own recipes because you can edit them directly. Remixing also lets you change any of the recipe’s settings — for example, if a shared recipe is set to “Multiple meetings” but you want to use it on a single meeting, you can remix it and switch it to “Single meetings”.

​
Using recipes effectively

Each recipe is a static prompt template — recipes do not support variables, placeholders, or dynamic content substitution. The prompt you write is sent as-is every time you run the recipe. If you need variations for different scenarios (for example, different interview rubrics for different roles), create a separate recipe for each variation with the specific details written directly into the prompt. Recipes work best when you provide clear, specific instructions in your prompt. Consider including details about what information to extract, how to structure the output, and what areas to focus on. Common use cases include:
  • Extracting action items or decisions from recent meetings
  • Summarizing product feedback across multiple calls
  • Identifying features or bugs to test from development discussions
  • Creating interview assessments after candidate calls
  • Analyzing sales conversations for common objections or questions
