Grain
What it is
Grain is an AI notetaker and conversation intelligence platform for recording meetings and turning conversations into searchable notes. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles, and in-person meetings, with transcription in 130 languages. Grain can capture computer audio without placing a meeting bot in the call, or record meeting video with a bot. Its AI produces meeting notes, next steps, automatic recaps, summaries, insights, and coaching feedback. Users can ask questions across their meeting library and receive cited answers. Teams can share clips, projects, and full recordings, with automatic group sharing available. Calendar connections and integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Aircall, Slack, Productboard, and Zapier. Meeting data can be exported or accessed through an MCP server and API for use with Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools. The desktop app runs on macOS and Windows, and the workspace is available in a browser. Grain offers a free plan, paid plans from $15/user/mo, and a 14-day trial.
