Introducing Ada: The AI-Powered Email Assistant by Read AI
Read AI’s latest innovation, Ada, is set to revolutionize how users manage their schedules, answer queries from their company’s knowledge base, and handle out-of-office emails. This AI-powered assistant, dubbed a “digital twin” by the company, is designed to work tirelessly around the clock to streamline your tasks.
If you’re eager to get started with Ada, all you need to do is send an email to “ada@read.ai” with the message “Get me started.” This will kickstart the process of configuring Ada to cater to your specific needs.
One of Ada’s standout features is its ability to schedule meetings effortlessly. Simply ask Ada to find a suitable time to meet with someone, and it will coordinate with the other party to determine a mutually convenient slot. In case the proposed times don’t align, Ada will suggest alternative options without disclosing the nature of your other commitments.
Moreover, Ada can tap into your company’s knowledge base, past meeting discussions, and online resources to provide answers to a wide range of queries. Whether you need updates on Q1 goals or insights on specific topics, Ada has you covered.
When it comes to responding to inquiries within email threads, Ada steps in to assist you in formulating and refining your replies. Rest assured that Ada prioritizes your privacy and won’t disclose sensitive information without your consent.
Justin Farris, Read AI’s VP of Product, highlights that Ada’s capabilities extend beyond conventional AI tools by leveraging a knowledge graph built on meeting data and interconnected services. This approach ensures more contextual and proactive responses, such as prompting follow-up actions based on post-meeting discussions.
Although Ada currently operates via email, plans are underway to integrate it with popular platforms like Slack and Teams for enhanced accessibility and efficiency.
On the expansion front, Read AI is witnessing significant growth in its user base, with over 5 million monthly active users and a target of reaching 10 million. The company’s broad appeal is evident from the 50,000 daily sign-ups and a substantial user segment engaging with Read AI’s offerings sans creating an account.
With a predominant presence in the U.S. market and promising international traction, Read AI continues to innovate with AI-powered solutions. Notable additions like Search Copilot for knowledge discovery and enhancements in customer-service relationship management underscore the company’s commitment to enhancing user experiences.
As the AI landscape evolves, other players in the meeting notetaking space are also introducing advanced tools to extract actionable insights from meeting data. Granola’s “recipes” feature and Quill’s integration with various productivity tools exemplify the industry’s shift toward automation and efficiency.
