Grain AI

Grain is an AI meeting assistant, built by Grain Intelligence, that records, transcribes, and summarizes video calls on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Rather than requiring a bot to join every call, it can also capture meetings directly from the desktop. Generated notes follow customizable templates, and users can prompt the AI conversationally to pull specific information out of a call, similar to asking questions of a chatbot. Beyond note-taking, Grain automatically creates highlight reels and short video clips from key moments in a meeting, and every transcript is searchable, making it possible to find a specific discussion without rewatching a full recording. Notes and highlights can sync out to connected tools including Slack, HubSpot, and Salesforce, and the product is aimed primarily at sales teams, customer success managers, user researchers, product teams, and hiring teams who rely on recorded conversations for their work. Grain offers a free tier and a 14-day trial on paid seats; the company reports it was founded in 2018. A limitation is that its most distinctive features, highlight clips and CRM sync, are built around sales and customer-facing workflows, so teams outside those use cases get a more basic recording-and-transcription experience.
