List notes in Granola, without opening it
3 read operations and no writes: a companion can list notes and list folders in Granola and hand back the notes with the source on each row.
Open the note. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Granola afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Granola exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can list notes, list folders and get a note, and work across the notes and folders.
The Granola API stops at Granola. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it list notes on its own?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list notes, list folders and get a note, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Granola's documentation.
The notes are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the folders. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Granola admin becomes a queue you review.
- List Notes
- List Folders
- Get Note
How does a companion change a note?
Through the screens you already use.
Granola exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Granola in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a note, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a note in Granola touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the note sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Granola notes pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the planning, the Granola notes sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
