Granola released their MCP today. Now I can query my Granola notes in Cursor without opening the Granola app.

This is powerful because I can now access information stored in several different places (Granola, Google Drive, Gmail, on the web) and analyse it together.

As an example, I created an investment analysis for a company today by using the Granola, Harmonic, and Exa MCPs. I brought together information that would’ve taken days to find, if I could find it at all.

Once I’d pulled together the research report, I could ask questions like “What are the different approaches to solving this problem and why is this the right approach?” and use my Devil’s Advocate agent to find the holes in the argument, and help me understand the open questions I need to do more research on.

I can now prepare for founder meetings more effectively, improving the conversation for everyone.

There’s some good commentary on X after Dara’s comments on Uber’s strategy as autonomous vehicles come to market:

And here are $UBER prepared remarks on AV misconceptions and reality: s23.q4cdn.com/407969754/file… Misconception #1: AV growth will be zero-sum. Reality: AVs are likely to drive incremental growth for the entire category. "In Austin and Atlanta, where hundreds of AVs are operating on

$UBER Q4 slide deck had some interesting slides on the AV opportunity: #⃣ Austin feels a bit peaky compared to most cities on the weekends, but map this up against what I've put together and you see a world where AV fleet in Austin can likely double and cover the majority of https://t.co/eigbIVJ9yl

This interactive essay is worth a read - it’s one you’ll need to sit down with, and perhaps throw into NotebookLM to listen to.

“Unlike the massive hyperparameter search experiments that Googlers used to run, the information gain per-FLOP in an automated research setup is very high. Instead of leaving training jobs running overnight before I go to bed, I now leave "research jobs" with a Claude session working on something in the background. I wake up and read the experimental reports, write down a remark or two, and then ask for 5 new parallel investigations. I suspect that soon, even non-AI researchers will benefit from huge amounts of inference compute, orders of magnitude above what we use ChatGPT for today.”
