Grain
AI meeting recorder built for sharing key moments through short video clips.
Quick take
Grain is the best tool for creating and sharing meeting clips. That is a specific use case, not a general one. If your team frequently says "can you send me the part where the customer said X?" then Grain solves that problem better than any alternative. If you just need meeting notes, Grain is not the right choice.

Overview
Grain is a meeting recorder that focuses on the highlight-and-share workflow. Record a meeting, mark the key moments, and Grain creates shareable video clips with timestamped transcripts. The use case is clear: instead of sending someone a 45-minute recording, you send them a 90-second clip of the part that matters. Grain works across Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet. With a free tier and Business plans at $19/seat/month, it targets product, research, and customer-facing teams.
