Granola AI Notetaker Allegedly Captured and Transcribed Florida Meeting Participant Without Notice or Consent

What happened

Tarra Chamberlain, a Florida resident, alleged that Granola captured and transcribed her speech during a virtual meeting without her knowledge or consent after another participant used the AI notetaker. Her July 2026 lawsuit further alleged that Granola uses meeting data to improve its AI models by default, while non-user participants have no comparable opt-out.
