Read.ai is an AI meeting assistant that goes beyond transcription — it tracks engagement, sentiment, and speaker behavior in real time during calls. It generates meeting scores (how engaging was the meeting?), identifies moments of confusion or energy drops, and provides coaching insights for presenters. Unlike Fireflies (post-meeting analysis), Read.ai shows live engagement signals during the call and rates each participant's contribution. Used by sales teams, coaches, and trainers to improve meeting quality.
