Grain

What it is for

Grain is a team meeting notetaker: a calendar bot (or desktop capture) records Zoom / Meet / Teams, then the workspace holds AI notes, clips, and agent workflows. Use it when the job is a shared library of customer calls, not when you need TTS or a DAW.

It is not open source. Free exists ($0). Starter is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is Grain’s official meeting workspace from the help center — notes, transcript, and player — not a Gong-comparison poster.

Key features

• Team meeting capture — a calendar bot or desktop recorder saves Zoom, Meet, and Teams into one workspace (Plans).
• AI notes + transcript — the recording page keeps notes, the transcript, and the player on one screen.
• Clip creation — cut a moment from the timeline and share it without exporting the full call.
• AI Notepad — live notes while the call is running, then turn a highlight into a clip.
• CRM and Slack push — send notes or fields out to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Slack from the workspace.

Who it's for

Best fit: product, research, and CS teams who want every call in one workspace and will pay when the 45-minute Free cap is too short.

Poor fit: people who only need a personal bot-free notepad (Amie) or a transcript they edit as video (Descript).
