What it means.
- The notepad framing (coined by Granola) keeps you actively taking notes, then merges your intent with what was actually said — rather than handing you a raw transcript to clean up.
- Humla is a notepad-style app: it fuses your typed notes with the transcript when it writes the summary, so the result reflects what you meant, not just what was said.
