"My personal assistant for interviews"
What do you like best about Read AI?

It feels like having an extra participant in my meeting, but it actually created a report for me, highlighting the best aspects and offering advice on my tone and the speed of my language. I really love this feature. I paid the pro version, i used like everyday Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read AI?

If I don't create a meeting, Read cannot join, which means that in urgent situations, I am unable to add Read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Meeting Recording + Email AI"
What do you like best about Read AI?

I like that read gives you coaching recommendations for your meetings and analyzes the meetings. It also provides insights into your email as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read AI?

I feel like the meeting recorder's presence is a little too "obvious". I would prefer if it were not its own "individual" in a meeting if that makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the most useful tools in my toolbox!"
What do you like best about Read AI?

I have a tough time taking notes in meetings that I am super engaged in, so this is an absolute lifesaver for me. I love that I can easily look back in meetings and that it automatically adds to my zoom calls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read AI?

Wish the free version allowed basic reports for more than five meetings per month because I need this badly but bosses won't pay - also shouldn't this be included in our zoom package as an essential app? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful but there is a bug in the fact that even after deactivating account it keeps on barging"
What do you like best about Read AI?

Very useful when you cannot pay full attention and have to do things in the background. For MOM it's perfect because it makes summaries of what has happened, action items who has said what etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read AI?

It keeps on barging into meetings even after deactivating my account, after I removed it from getting into meetings automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helped Summarize meetings and highlight action points arising from my meetings"
What do you like best about Read AI?

I like the meeting summaries and action points post the meeting. I like that it also automaticaaly 'joins' the meeting - but that can also be a problem sometimes. Read.ai is generally easy to use after you install it. After download, it easily integrated and automatically joined my meetings.

I used it frequently on my meetings but had to disuse it for meetings where folks were uncomfortable having AI attend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read AI?

What I dislike most about it is that it automatically joins meetings. Depending on what kind of meeting and what is being discussed, some folks might be uncomfortable having AI on the meeting especailly if they are unfamiliar with read.ai.

Sometimes, read.ai failed to join some meetings, I couldn't explain why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sneaky growth tactics - be aware of using this tool"
What do you like best about Read AI?

Summary of the meetings and action items, but this is pretty much commoditized anyways. Nothing specific to read.ai. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read AI?

Once installed, they never leave you.

We stopped the trial. It continues coming to our meetings.

When we remove it, it still continues coming.

We had get in touch with support. And, still, they don't remove it easily.

Whatever you do, don't use this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
