BUILDING THE FUTURE OF WORKWITH CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE.
— David Shim, Co-Founder and CEO of Read A
Founded in 2021 by David Shim, Robert Williams, and Elliott Waldron, Read AI brings together your meetings, emails, and messages and transforms them into collaborative partners, so that they talk to each other, share information, offer updates, find answers, and organize tasks through connected intelligence. By turning dialogue into action, Read ensures every conversation moves you to value and impact.
Connected Intelligence
In the past three years, Read AI has become the leader in gen-AI meeting summaries and, in April 2024, introduced ‘Readouts’ for email and messaging on Gmail, Outlook, Teams, and Slack. Along with the launch, Read announced a Series A of $21MM led by Goodwater Capital with existing investor Madrona Venture Group.
Read AI’s vision is to empower every knowledge worker to spend radically less time on process—meetings, emails, and messaging—and more time on what matters most: creating value. Adoption of Read has crossed industries, roles, and borders, resulting in Read ranking as not only the fastest-growing meeting notetaker, but one of the fastest-growing AI apps for consumers globally.
Read’s intelligent agents work quietly in the background, enabling your meetings, emails, and messages to interact with each other. This connected intelligence unifies your communications and empowers you and your team with personalized, actionable briefings, tailored to your needs and priorities.
Rapid Adoption
Read AI’s intelligent agents for meetings on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom have gained significant traction. Over the past year, the platform has seen a 12-fold increase in monthly active users and a 15-fold increase in measured meetings across 40+ countries. This widespread adoption underscores the platform’s ability to save knowledge workers time on routine tasks, allowing them to focus on more critical activities.
In its quest to improve all interactions, Read AI has expanded its services to include Google Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. The platform’s ability to condense extensive email threads and message exchanges into concise, relevant summaries is a testament to its efficiency. Users benefit from real-time updates, AI-generated summaries, actionable takeaways, and organized timelines, making information management seamless and intuitive.
Looking to the Future
Rather than a co-pilot, Read is building an AI auto-pilot to improve knowledge workers’ individual and team effectiveness across any interaction, starting with meetings, emails, and messages. In the future, every interaction, wherever it occurs, will be improved with Read AI.
