What Read AI does

Who it’s for: people whose work is scattered across meetings, email, and chat, and who lose time finding out who said what.

The meeting report

After each meeting on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, Read AI writes a report: summary, action items, key questions, and the full transcript of the discussion.

Email and message summaries

“Readouts” group your emails, messages, and meetings by topic. For each topic: a summary, the action items, the open questions, and the latest exchanges.

Search across all your work

“Ask Read” answers a question by searching your meetings, emails, calendar, and messages. Each answer lists its sources.

Also

  • Record from your computer with no bot
  • Meeting metrics and coaching
  • On your phone: in-person meetings
  • Import a recording
  • Watch the meeting again on video

Nova’s advice

The free plan is enough to judge the tool, and email and message summaries are included in it with no stated limit. Move to Pro if you have more than five meetings per month to follow. Only get Enterprise if you need to watch the video again.

A first try, in 10 minutes

Your data. By default, Read AI does not train its AI on your data, but it stores your meetings, emails, and messages in the United States.

What it does less well

  • By default, the bot joins all your meetings and sends the report to invitees, with an invitation to sign up. Many people discover Read AI this way, without having wanted to. Adjust these two settings as soon as you sign up.
  • The free plan stops at 5 meetings per month.
Get your first meeting reportRead AI
  1. Open the “Calendar” page in Read AI and turn on “Add Read?” for an internal meeting, at least 15 minutes before it starts.
  2. At the start of the call, tell participants that Read AI is taking notes. It appears in the participant list under its own name.
  3. Run the meeting as usual. If anyone objects, they just type “Opt Out” in the chat: Read AI leaves and deletes everything.
  4. After the call, open the “Reports” page. The report contains the summary, the action items, the key questions, and the full transcript.
  5. Click the search bar at the top of the page (“Ask Read”) and paste the prompt below.
  6. Review the answer and check the names and dates before you send it.

The prompt to copy

From my last meeting, write a five-line status update for my manager: what was decided, what remains to be done, and who owns it.
