OpenClaw workflow automates meeting follow-ups, replaces Granola for user

Meeting automation workflow using OpenClaw

A user has documented their transition from Granola to OpenClaw for meeting management. While Granola provided meeting notes for $14/month, the user found it insufficient for handling post-meeting tasks.

The core issue was managing what happens after meetings: following up with the right people, sending recaps, tracking commitments, and monitoring next steps across multiple clients. These tasks were consistently falling through the cracks.

OpenClaw workflow specifics

The user configured an OpenClaw workflow with these capabilities:

• Listens to meetings via speech-to-text (STT)
• Transcribes meeting content
• Generates a clean summary on WhatsApp by the time the call ends
• Breaks out action items clearly
• Creates a draft follow-up email ready for sending

The key difference noted is that OpenClaw doesn't just record what happened—it acts on the information. While Granola provides notes, OpenClaw provides notes plus automated next steps.

The user reports this approach is particularly valuable for those juggling multiple clients or back-to-back calls, as it changes how their day runs. They cancelled their Granola subscription the same week they implemented the OpenClaw workflow.
