Overview

What it does.

Read AI records and transcribes video meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, then produces summaries, action items, and engagement metrics such as talk time and sentiment. Beyond meetings, it connects to Gmail, Outlook, Slack, and Microsoft Teams chat to summarize threads and build a searchable memory of conversations across channels, and a Copilot feature answers questions over past meetings and messages. Small sales teams, agencies, and consultancies use it to keep client call notes consistent and push them into HubSpot or Salesforce. The free tier allows a handful of meetings a month, which is enough for a trial. Setup involves connecting a calendar so the bot joins automatically. The caveat is that Read AI joins as a visible participant and sends automatic emails to attendees by default, so settings should be reviewed to avoid surprising clients, and the engagement scoring is not always meaningful for short calls.
