With Templates, you can enable Grain AI to write notes tailored to your use cases and preferences. In this guide, we'll show you how to create your custom template, add custom sections to existing templates, and apply the template to your meetings.

1. Navigate to Settings → Notes and click "Create Template".

2. Fill in a name for your template

3. Add the prebuilt sections or the custom sections you want.

4. Click "Save" and see the new Template in your Custom Templates.

Once you have saved your template, add it to any meeting to get the AI notes in that particular format (more on that below).

You can edit a Template to add or remove sections.

1. Click Edit on a Notes template.

2. Click "+ Add Section"

3. Click "+ New Custom" Section.

4. Enter the prompt you’d like the AI to answer in meetings.

5. Wait for the AI to test the prompt on a meeting and click "Add Section" once you're happy with the output.

If there aren’t any meetings in your workspace, you don’t have to wait for the AI to test the prompt. Just click on "Add Section".

Optional: Test the prompt on other meetings.

Click on the meeting name at the bottom of the popup to get a list of meetings on which you can test the notes. Once you are satisfied, click on "Add Section".

7. Viola! Your custom section is added to your notes template.

Hover over the 'more options' and click 'Remove section' to delete the section from the Template. Please note that if you have used the same section in other Templates, they'll remain unaffected.

There are two ways to apply a Template to your meetings.

Once you've created your template, you might want to use it as your primary structure for meeting notes. To do so, you can set any template as the default for internal and external meetings.

Select the template you want to set as the default for internal and external meetings for the entire workspace. Your new default templates will be used in all your meetings—going forward.

Note: You can override the workspace defaults templates in My Meetings settings.

You can assign different templates to individual meetings. Just go to 'Today,' choose the specific meeting, and select the desired template. That's it!

For recurring meetings, all future instances will automatically use the updated template.

Updating the Template After the Meeting

Need to change the template after the meeting? No problem. Open the meeting and update the template. Grain AI will then rewrite your notes according to the new

template.

You can add, edit, and remove templates and structure them as you please. If you no longer want your default template, change it before attempting to delete it.

You can create and add sections—like pain points, sentiment, or other aspects you want to extract from a call.

Step 1: Open the meeting > Notes > Click "+"

Step 2: Add a prebuilt section or create your own.

Step 3: Select the format of the desired output. Choose between "Bullet Points" or "Paragraph"

You can choose the format of the answers to align with your needs. Bullet points are a good choice for outputs that need to be: concise and specific, visually appealing, and time oriented. Paragraphs are a good choice for outputs that need to be: detailed, complex, and tell a story.

Step 4: Add the section to the meeting or both the meeting and the template.

Click '+Add Section' to include it in the meeting notes. You can also copy the answer if you're only interested in extracting and sharing insights. Here's an example of a close rate section that you can add to a sales coaching call.
