What is Read AI?
Read AI is a meeting notetaker and enterprise search product from Read AI, Inc. Its assistant can be added to Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet calls, and desktop and mobile apps capture in-person conversations. Each meeting yields a report containing a summary, a list of topics, action items, key questions and a speaker-separated transcript; higher plans add audio and video playback and highlight clips. Before a meeting, Read AI sends a briefing drawn from calendar, email, earlier meetings and CRM data, and afterwards it can route action items to connected tools such as Slack, Notion, Jira, Salesforce and HubSpot. Ask Read lets users query everything shared across meetings, emails and messages and returns answers with citations. A coaching report measures items like talking speed and filler words. The service is also available as a Claude connector, a ChatGPT app and an MCP server.
