About Grain
What is Grain?
Grain is an AI-powered meeting notetaker designed for growing teams. It captures meetings on any platform, transcribes audio without a bot, and enriches transcripts with participant context, action items, and notes. Grain then exports clean Markdown or connects directly to AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT, enabling agents and teams to act on meeting insights instantly.

It helps sales leaders coach reps by listening to calls, helps researchers stay engaged during interviews, and gives product teams direct access to customer feedback.
