Read AI is an AI meeting assistant that joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet calls to deliver summaries, action items, meeting metrics, and speaker-level insights in real time. It suits teams and individuals who want more than a static transcript — a live in-meeting dashboard plus post-meeting analytics — and it runs on a freemium model: a free plan with 5 meetings per month at $0 (no credit card required), plus a Pro plan starting at $15 per user per month (billed annually; $19.75 billed monthly).
Who builds it
Read AI is developed by Read AI, the company behind the Read AI meeting-assistant platform. Read AI positions itself explicitly around privacy, describing its product as a "privacy-first meeting notetaker and AI assistant," and states it is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant.
Core features
- Automatic recording & transcription — joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, with support for 16+ languages.
- Speaker identification — full dialogue broken out by speaker.
- Live Notes and Metrics — an in-meeting dashboard that provides transcription, summaries, and meeting metrics in real time.
- Automated summaries & action items — automatically generated meeting summary, topics, action items, and key questions.
- Broad integrations — Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Slack, and Asana, to route meeting output into existing workflows.
- API access — a documented API for building workflow automations on top of Read AI data.
Who it is for
Read AI fits teams that want meeting analytics and coaching-style insights layered on top of standard transcription — sales and customer-success teams tracking talk-time and engagement, or managers wanting a record of who said what. The free plan is aimed at individuals starting out: it includes 5 meetings per month "complete with summaries, transcription, and search," so newcomers can evaluate the core notetaking experience before paying anything. Teams with heavier meeting volume, a need for the six listed integrations, or the full set of live metrics typically move to Pro from $15 per user per month.
Data and privacy
Read AI states plainly that it does not use customer data for model training by default: "Read AI never uses your meeting content for training, unless you explicitly, knowingly opt in." It also states SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. Even so, Read AI's published facts do not spell out a specific EU-hosting guarantee or data region, so DACH teams with strict DSGVO data-residency requirements should confirm hosting location and a data processing agreement directly with Read AI before rollout.
Bottom line
Read AI stands out among meeting assistants for pairing real-time meeting metrics with a no-training-by-default privacy stance, making it a strong option for teams that want analytics and coaching insights without contributing their conversations to model training by default.
