Grape
Handwriting notes for sales professionals

Write it by hand. Ask it like text.

Write discovery and renewal calls by hand on pages of ruled paper and Grape reads the words off the page on the device itself, so a page of an account history in your own hand turns up in search like any typed note and the agent can quote it.
Lined, grid, dotted, graph or plain pages, A4 or Letter, up to a hundred of them
Handwriting read into text on the device, so pages are searchable and the agent can read them
Import a PDF to write over it, export the notebook as one
The same pages open on the desk, where you can keep writing on them

Paper that behaves like paper

Pen, highlighter, eraser, shapes and text boxes on pages that stack the way a notebook does.

Your handwriting, searchable

The words are read off the page on the device itself, and nothing leaves it to do so.

The agent reads your pages

Ask what the lecture said on Tuesday and the answer comes from the ink.

Write on the slides

Import a PDF and annotate it page by page, then export the lot back out as one.

Page forty is a tap away

A navigator shows the whole notebook as thumbnails, with a page added or removed from there.

Open the notebook at the desk

The pages sync like any note and open in the desktop app, where you can add to them.
Scoreboard

Three things that stop leaking between calls

No feature tour. What changes when the follow up is written before you hang up.
Without Grape
The follow up gets written at 6pm, from memory, after four more calls.
You walk into the call with the CRM open and no idea what was said last time.
The detail from the call never makes it into the CRM.
With Grape

Follow ups written before the next call

Ask for the commitments and objections from the transcript and send the email from that.

Walk in knowing the account

Pull up everything you captured about a company and get it summarised in a line or two.

Stop losing detail between the call and the CRM

The full conversation is in the note, and the tidy summary is what you paste into the system.
A deal

What that looks like for sales professionals

Three points between discovery and renewal where the app earns its slot.
01

Discovery

Record with consent and stay in the conversation instead of typing.
02

Between calls

Ask for next steps, write the follow up, move on.
03

Before a renewal

Ask what this account cared about over the last year.

Questions Before You Install It

The rest of them live in the help center.
Does it sync with my CRM?
No. Grape is where the raw conversation and your thinking live. Export or paste the clean summary into your CRM and keep pipeline data there.
Do I need permission to record calls?
Yes. Recording rules vary by country and state, so ask on the call and follow your company policy.
What is Grape, in one paragraph?
Grape is a note app for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android with AI built into the middle of it rather than bolted on the side. You write, record and collect things the normal way, and then you can search by meaning, ask questions about your own notes, and turn any note into a summary, a set of flashcards, a quiz or a mind map.
What makes it different from other note apps?
Most note apps treat AI as an extra panel. In Grape the agent works on your workspace: it can read, create, edit, move, tag and delete notes, and every answer points back to the note it came from. Semantic search, voice transcription, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and the drawing canvas all live inside the editor rather than in separate tools.
Where do my notes actually live?
On your device, in a local database, and you can choose where that file sits. Nothing needs to leave your machine for the app to work. If you turn on sync with a Pro plan, your notes are also stored in the cloud so your devices can stay in step.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. Download the app and start writing. You only need an account for the paid plans, which is where built in AI and cross device sync come in.

Have the follow up ready.

Record the conversation, get the transcript, and ask for the next steps before you dial the next number. Every account note stays searchable by what was said.
