    Granola co-founder makes peace with agents bypassing its UI

    Sam Stephenson says large enterprises need Granola to work with their internal tools, even when users skip its interface.

    TLDR

    Granola co-founder Sam Stephenson told interviewer Peter Yang that the team initially tried to keep users in Granola’s UI. He says that for some workflows, it works better to capture context with Granola and use it through an internal agent. That leaves him with a “pang of sadness” as a UI designer, but he says enterprise customers’ internal tools make integration essential.

    @petergyangI asked Sam, co-founder of @meetgranola, how he feels about people skipping his UI and instead just using the MCP to get the job done. Here's what he said: "There's definitely a pang of sadness to that as a UI designer. We fought it for a while. We were like, no, we really need to keep everybody in the Granola UI for everything. But as soon as you become a big enough enterprise, it's inevitable you have all of this internal tooling. If Granola doesn't play nice with that internal tooling, then it's a non-starter. At this point we're at peace with the fact that for a bunch of workflows, the best way to use Granola is to capture the context, then use it through your internal agent." 📌 Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/3IF3H5dxU3U3h
