Grain

Grain is an AI meeting intelligence platform that records or captures conversations, transcribes them, generates AI notes and action items, and organizes meeting knowledge for later search, sharing, coaching, CRM workflows, and AI-assisted analysis. It is used particularly by sales, customer success, research, recruiting, and other customer-facing teams.

1. Meeting capture: Grain's meeting bot can join Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex to create video recordings, transcripts, and AI notes. Its separate Desktop Capture records computer audio without adding a bot and works with other meeting types, while paid users can also upload supported audio/video files or import Zoom Cloud recordings.
2. Meeting knowledge and reuse: Grain automatically produces AI notes, next steps, searchable transcripts, and meeting recaps. Users can create short transcript-linked video Clips, organize recordings into playlists and Stories, and ask Grain's AI questions across their meeting library. Business-level capabilities add AI coaching, scorecards, trackers, follow-up emails, and CRM integrations.
3. Integrations and AI workflows: Starter, Business, and Enterprise users receive personal API access for exporting meeting data and building custom workflows, while workspace-level API capabilities are available on higher tiers. Grain's MCP server can expose meetings, transcripts, notes, action items, clips, and other permitted workspace data to tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor; Business and Enterprise plans add access to coaching and additional sales intelligence.
4. Plans and seats: Grain currently offers Free, Starter, Business, and Enterprise plans. The Free plan includes one recording seat, unlimited numbers of recordings subject to a 45-minute meeting limit, basic AI notes, and limited history; Starter adds unlimited recording, uploads, custom AI prompts/templates, and API access; Business adds coaching, CRM/dialer integrations, trackers, and advanced MCP capabilities; Enterprise adds stronger security, SSO, account management, and custom commercial terms. Paid workspaces can also include free viewer seats for teammates who only need access to shared recordings and notes.

Grain is most relevant to teams that want meeting content to become reusable operational data rather than remain isolated recordings. Its value depends on meeting volume, CRM and collaboration requirements, coaching needs, and whether transcripts, clips, notes, and AI-accessible meeting data are consistently reused after calls.
