Google releases a new local-first Granola competitor
Google’s new Mac notetaker runs fully offline on Apple Silicon.
Google AI Edge Foresight uses the on-device EmbeddingGemma 2 model to capture meeting notes across apps, including in-person meetings. It offers a Granola-like split view with shorthand notes beside AI-generated notes, plus transcript viewing and a Gemma 4-powered chat assistant. Users can upload documents and bookmarks into a knowledge base so the app can answer meeting questions in real time. TechCrunch AI's note
