Read AI
Cross-channel meeting and message AI with a searchable digital twin
What is Read AI?
Read AI captures meetings, emails, and messages and unifies them into one searchable layer with summaries, action items, and an Ask Read query interface across Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and major meeting platforms. Bought by knowledge workers who want one assistant spanning calls and async channels rather than meeting-only tools. Adds a personal digital twin called Ada that learns workflow patterns.
AI meeting assistants for call notes, summaries, transcripts, follow-up, and sales coaching.
