Can I build my own Granola with AI?

Build an AI meeting notes app inspired by Granola (web MVP, transcript-first).

**Objective:** Let a user create a meeting note, paste or upload a transcript, generate a structured summary with action items, and save searchable notes.

**Target user:** A founder, manager, or consultant who wants better meeting notes without paying for Granola yet.

**Core functionality:**
- Create a meeting: title, date/time, attendees
- Paste transcript or upload audio for transcription
- Generate structured notes: summary, decisions, action items, open questions
- Edit the AI output before saving
- Templates for 1:1, sales call, interview, and general meeting
- List and search past meetings

**Pages/screens:**
- Meeting list (home)
- New meeting
- Meeting detail / editor
- Template picker
- Settings (model defaults, prompt preferences)

**User flows:**
1. User creates a meeting from a template
2. User pastes transcript after the call
3. User clicks Generate notes
4. User edits action items and saves
5. User later searches and reopens the note

**UI direction:** Calm, notebook-like, lots of whitespace, typography-forward. Feel closer to a writing app than a dense SaaS dashboard.

**Data model:**
- User: { id, email, name }
- Meeting: { id, userId, title, startsAt, attendees[], template, rawNotes, transcript?, summary?, decisions?, actionItems[], createdAt, updatedAt }

**Authentication:** Required.

**APIs/integrations:** LLM for summarisation; optional STT for audio uploads; optional calendar sync later.

**Responsive requirements:** Reading and light editing on mobile; creation flows comfortable on desktop.

**Error states:** Empty transcript warning; generation failures with retry; empty meeting list state.

**Explicit exclusions:** No live bot joining every Zoom call in v1, no CRM auto-push, no real-time coaching, no full calendar two-way sync in v1.

**Suggested implementation order:**
1. Auth + meeting CRUD
2. Paste transcript + LLM summary templates
3. Editable action items
4. Search and list filters
5. Optional audio upload → STT
