Read AI, a meeting notetaker company, has introduced Ada, an AI-driven email assistant designed to streamline schedule management and provide insightful responses sourced from company knowledge bases and the web. Termed a ‘digital twin’ by Read AI, Ada operates as a virtual aide capable of handling tasks autonomously, accessible to all users by initiating configuration through an email to ‘[email protected]’ with the subject ‘Get me started’.
Ada excels in coordinating meetings by promptly sharing availability with other participants and proposing alternative time slots if needed. While equipped with access to user calendars, Ada maintains confidentiality regarding meeting details. Additionally, Ada’s capabilities extend to answering queries by leveraging company-specific knowledge bases, previous meeting discussions, and online searches. This functionality empowers users to obtain updates or address queries without manual intervention.
In addition to reactive responses, Ada proactively assists users in formulating replies within email threads and suggests follow-up actions based on contextual data gathered from interactions. Read AI’s VP of Product, Justin Farris, highlighted Ada’s unique approach of building a knowledge graph from meeting data and connected services to offer tailored and contextual insights without relying on Model Context Protocols (MCPs).
With Ada’s promise to evolve into a proactive assistant capable of initiating actions based on contextual cues, Read AI aims to enhance users’ workflow efficiency and productivity through AI-driven automation.
