About Read AI
Read AI is a meeting notetaker and assistant that works with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, and with desktop, mobile and browser clients. It records meetings and produces summaries, transcripts and recommendations for what should happen next.
Its site stresses summaries that use context from your email and calendar, preparation before a meeting from past discussions and CRM data, and agents that recommend follow-up actions. Product areas include meeting reports, real-time notes, playback, a personal AI, workspaces for teams, and an API, with integrations for HubSpot, Salesforce, Atlassian, Notion, Asana and Slack. It can also connect to Claude and ChatGPT and offers an MCP server.
