Meetings Free Tier

Read AI

Read AI is an AI assistant that joins your meetings, summarizes your emails and messages, and lets you search across all of it to find answers fast.

Last updated 2026-04-30
Our Take
Read AI is a meeting notetaker that's grown into a full productivity-AI layer covering email, messaging, and enterprise search alongside meetings. It's a strong pick if you want one tool across Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet plus your inbox — but watch the auto-join behavior, and know that video playback is gated behind the $22.50/seat tier.
Best For
Knowledge workers, managers, and small-to-mid-size teams who live across multiple meeting platforms (Zoom + Teams + Meet) and want a single AI layer over meetings, email, and chat. Especially strong for sales/CS teams that need HubSpot or Salesforce sync.

How It Works

1
Sign up and connect your calendar (Google, Outlook, or Zoom) plus any tools you want indexed (Slack, Gmail, HubSpot, etc.)
2
Read's bot automatically joins scheduled Zoom/Teams/Meet calls — or you record in-person meetings via the mobile/desktop app
3
After each meeting you get an auto-generated report with summary, transcript, action items, key questions, and a coaching scorecard
4
Use Search Copilot to ask natural-language questions across all your meetings, emails, and messages, or push action items to Jira/Asana/Notion/Slack

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Read AI free?
Yes, Read AI has a free tier that includes 5 meeting transcripts per month, unlimited Search Copilot, and basic integrations. No credit card is required to start.
Does Read AI work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?
Yes, Read AI is one of the few meeting assistants that works natively across all three — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Zoom selected it as an Essential App with premium features enabled for Zoom customers.
How much does Read AI cost per user?
Paid plans start at $15/user/month (Pro, billed annually) and go up to $29.75/user/month for Enterprise+ annual. Monthly billing is roughly 30% more expensive.
Can Read AI record in-person meetings?
Yes, Read's iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS apps can capture in-person meetings and live events directly from your device, then generate the same reports as for video calls.
Does Read AI integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot?
Yes, but Salesforce and HubSpot sync are 'premium integrations' that require the Pro plan ($15/user/mo) or higher — they're not available on the free tier.
Is Read AI secure and HIPAA compliant?
Read AI is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and GDPR compliant on all tiers. HIPAA compliance is only available on the Enterprise+ plan, which requires 10+ licenses.
What is Ada in Read AI?
Ada is Read AI's 'digital twin' — an AI executive assistant you can email at ada@read.ai to delegate tasks like scheduling, summarization, and answering questions about your meetings and inbox.
How does Read AI compare to Otter or Fireflies?
Read AI is broader: in addition to meeting transcription, it summarizes your email and messaging (Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook) and offers Search Copilot across all sources. Otter and Fireflies are more focused purely on meetings.
