An AI notetaker records and transcribes a meeting for you; an AI notepad is one you write in yourself while the AI augments your notes with the transcript.

In depth
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.
