Granola ships Agent Brief, calls out big labs for hoarding MCP while inventing it
soleio · x · 2026-11-12
Granola launched its Agent Brief feature, with CEO Chris Pedregal taking a pointed swipe at big labs: they let you connect apps via MCP but don't offer an MCP endpoint themselves — despite inventing MCP — betting that switching agents is too painful once you've set one up. His pitch: everyone benefits when users aren't locked into a single agent.
Early users describe Granola as their most-used tool across work, side projects, writing, doctor visits and personal training.
