What is Grain?

Grain is an AI-powered meeting notetaker and recording platform trusted by over 31,000 teams across sales, customer success, and product departments.

It automatically joins video calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Slack huddles to capture recordings, generate transcripts, and produce structured AI summaries with action items.

Grain stands out with its MCP server integration that pipes meeting data directly into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor for agent-driven workflows.

The platform also offers shareable video clips, CRM auto-sync with HubSpot and Salesforce, custom note templates, keyword trackers, and a desktop capture mode that records without a visible bot.
