Overview

Universal Meeting Capture

Grain operates as an AI notetaker and conversation intelligence platform, designed to record video calls, Slack huddles, and in-person meetings. It captures comprehensive meeting content, including video, desktop audio, and generates detailed transcripts and notes. The platform offers universal capture across various platforms, supporting both bot-less transcription and video recording with a bot. Users can set rules for automatic recording and add notes, tags, or clip segments during meetings to refine insights.

AI Integration and Team Collaboration

The tool enriches transcripts with participant and cross-meeting context, supporting over 100 languages. These enriched transcripts, along with user-added notes and action items, can be exported directly to AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT. Grain provides an MCP Server & API, allowing AI agents to query transcripts and access full meeting history. For team collaboration, it enables sharing clips, projects, and full recordings with teammates and clients. Teams can be created for automatic group sharing, and notes can be synced to CRMs such as HubSpot or Salesforce, reducing manual data entry and enhancing alignment.
