Grain ships MCP and one-click Claude/ChatGPT export — meeting data goes agent-native.

meeting intelligencemcpai integrationsux consolidationlive transcriptsapi expansion
◆Current state
Grain just shipped an MCP server alongside bulk AI actions and a one-click 'open in Claude/ChatGPT' button on every meeting page. Transcripts are now Markdown-formatted and pull in company, participant, prior-meeting context, and private notes — explicitly shaped for AI consumption rather than human reading. Earlier in the quarter Grain landed a live in-meeting notepad/transcript surface and a unified home page replacing the split library/calendar.
◆Where it's heading
Grain is repositioning from 'meeting recorder with summaries' to 'meeting data source for your AI tools.' MCP and the AI-export buttons turn the product from a destination into a feeder for whatever LLM-based workflows customers already run. The earlier UX consolidation (one home page, live notepad) made the product more usable; the May release reframes who it's for.
◆Prediction
Expect more MCP surface coverage (search, action items, clip extraction) and likely an MCP-first onboarding flow for AI-tool users. Pricing or packaging tied to MCP/API-heavy usage is plausible, given the bulk-AI-actions cap concern that always follows agent integrations.

    ⚡ SPARK

    New Home Page + Improved Zapier Integration

    Library and calendar consolidated into one home page, with pre-meeting auto-capture settings, persistent filters, and a shift from a single 'owner' to multiple 'recorders' who all get edit access. Zapier integration also expanded. Real UX cleanup that removes recurring friction points.

    Live Experience, New Meeting Page, + API Additions

    A live in-meeting notepad surface (transcript, clipping, private notes, sharing controls) lands in the desktop app, plus a ground-up redesign of the meeting page with action items at the top. API additions for assistant agents round it out. Pulls Grain meaningfully into the in-meeting experience, not just the after-the-fact review.

    Video Uploads API + Google Meet Bypass

    Video Uploads API for Business/Enterprise plans, plus a Google Meet waiting-room bypass that lets the Grain bot enter as a calendar invitee. The waiting-room fix removes a specific support-ticket category; the upload API extends the data-source story.
