Read AI

Read AI is a meeting intelligence company founded in 2021 by David Shim and headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company builds software that automatically joins video meetings to generate transcriptions, summaries, action items, and participant engagement metrics.

Read AI's primary product integrates with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and other conferencing platforms to capture meeting content and surface insights without manual note-taking. The platform tracks speaker engagement, sentiment signals, and talk-time distribution, and can generate post-meeting reports shared automatically with participants. The company targets knowledge workers, sales teams, and enterprise organizations seeking to reduce administrative overhead from meetings.

Read AI raised a $21 million Series A round in 2023, bringing its total disclosed funding to approximately $21 million. The company operates with a relatively small team and competes in a crowded market alongside Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, Gong, and Microsoft's native Copilot meeting features.
