Perplexity

Headless meeting data processing

Use `list_recent` to fetch new notes for your CI/CD pipelines. Claude Code pulls the latest meeting context without needing a screen. It pipes the output directly into your automation scripts. You can trigger tasks based on meeting action items automatically.

Automated Granola transcript analysis

Run `get_transcript` via the command line to feed raw meeting text into your custom analysis scripts. It returns the full speaker-labeled content. This is ideal for generating reports or documentation updates. You keep the process entirely within your terminal environment.

Efficient Granola batch retrieval

Call `get_documents_batch` to grab multiple meeting notes in a single request. It saves time when you need to process large sets of discussions. Claude Code executes this sequence quickly. It allows you to build complex workflows that rely on multiple meeting data points simultaneously.
