Read AI
Description
Read AI is an AI meeting assistant that provides real-time transcription, summaries, and analytics for virtual meetings across platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. It also offers a “Search Copilot” that enables users to search and extract insights across meetings, emails, messages, and connected business tools. The platform integrates with workplace systems to centralise knowledge and automate meeting documentation and follow-ups.
