Granola Source creators directly
from client calls
With the Granola MCP, your assistant reads clients kickoff calls in Granola, turns what the client said into a creator program brief, and searches Upfluence for the perfect creators once you confirm your goals.

Your assistant does the reading, but the brief is yours. It shows you what it took from the call and waits for you to confirm before it searches.
Nothing goes back to the client. If the brief is off, change it in the chat and your assistant runs the search again.
Your assistant remembers for you.
A week later, you can pick up the same chat and ask what changed, without explaining it all again.

Laura raised the budget to €55k and asked for 2 creators above 150k. I found 3 that fit in Italy. Add them as suggestions?
What your assistant won’t do
- It doesn’t read calls you haven’t asked about.
- It doesn’t share notes or transcripts with the client or the creators.
- It doesn’t search until you confirm the brief.
- It doesn’t contact creators. Suggestions stay in Upfluence until you start outreach.
- It doesn’t record calls. Granola takes the notes; your assistant only reads them.
