Read AI

Read AI is an AI meeting notetaker that summarizes Zoom, Meet and Teams calls and searches meetings, email and messages for answers with citations.

Read AI turns meetings into outcomes, with recaps, action items and highlights generated for calls on Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Before a meeting it prepares context from the calendar, email, past meetings and CRM, including what was promised last time and what is still open. Afterward, action items go to the tools the team already uses, and Ask Read answers questions such as what was decided and who owns it, with citations. Everything shared becomes searchable context for the team, and Ada, a digital twin assistant, handles tasks and manages workflow. Read AI also works in ChatGPT and Claude and on iOS, Android and desktop, announces its presence to everyone in the meeting, holds SOC 2 certification and does not train on customer data by default.
