Granola: what the assistant can do

Everything the assistant can do in Granola by text: 4 actions, with example texts, the Granola API call behind each one, and which ones ask first or can be undone.

In Granola, the assistant can list your meetings, recap a meeting, ask about a meeting and get action items. You ask by text, in your own words.
