GRIN
AI-operated creator marketing platform with human approval steps
GRIN is a creator marketing platform that brings creator discovery, relationship management, programs, deals, payments, content tracking, and reporting into one system. It solves the problem of fragmented workflows and manual tasks that slow down creator programs, replacing spreadsheets and status updates with a connected operating spine. Gia, its AI agent, prepares and runs much of the day-to-day work while the team retains control over actions involving messages, money, contracts, or brand risk.
The platform covers the full creator lifecycle: finding creators through search, personas, and inbound recruitment; launching programs for seeding, paid, UGC, and affiliate deals; negotiating contracts with a two-sided loop and escrow; processing payments via a funded wallet and Stripe; tracking content with a searchable, rights-cleared library; and reporting with plain-English metric answers and live dashboards. Integrations include Shopify, custom or headless stores, Stripe, Slack, and MCP for connecting external AI tools. A marketplace connects brands with an active creator network, and creators use their own app to discover brands and manage partnerships.
GRIN is built for brand teams running creator programs at scale. It offers a free tier with no credit card required, which includes unlimited affiliate links and codes and access to the creator network. Upgrading unlocks Gia’s full capabilities, and pricing is based on usage credits that scale with the AI work Gia performs.
