Read AI Announces New Patents, Cementing Leadership in AI Productivity Tools

Read AI, the leading independent productivity platform, is proud to announce new patents that underpin its world-class, proprietary technology. These patents highlight Read’s groundbreaking advancements in multi-modal AI and its commitment to empowering teams with actionable insights that transform the way they work. 

"Three years ago, we set out to create a platform that could 'Read the room' and help teams collaborate more effectively," said David Shim, Co-Founder and CEO of Read AI. "Today, with new patents and surging growth, we’re delivering on that promise, providing teams with the most advanced copilot tool. Read AI empowers millions of people to be more productive and successful at work."

Read AI already enables 75% of the Fortune 500 and leading platforms to leverage multi modal AI by integrating audio, visual, and language-based elements from meetings and interactions into Meeting Reports, Topic Readouts, and other outputs. This patented approach analyzes both explicit (e.g., what was said, who has their camera on, etc.) and implicit signals (e.g., facial reactions, laughter, etc.) to add important context to an interaction that are traditionally ignored.  This data is incorporated into every aspect of the copilot platform for higher-quality reports, summaries, and search queries.  

Read AI allows users to leverage its patented multi-modal AI platform across all their communication channels via direct integrations with all major meeting platforms, CRMs, and task management tools. Together with the multi-modal signals, the additional context from the integrations allows Read AI to not just describe interactions but to maximize the actionability of its reporting.

"Our mission is to empower teams to achieve their best by combining technological advancements with a deep understanding of human interaction and the physical world," said Elliott Waldron, Co-Founder and Head of Data Science. “These patents and our latest business metrics are proof of our commitment to quality and insight, as we continue to deliver the very best product on the market.”

Unlocking value using Read’s multi-modal platform comes with an industry-leading privacy policy. Read AI uses “opt-out” for data reuse by default, allows anyone in a meeting to opt-out of measurement, and is SOC2 and HIPAA compliant.  

In 2024, Read was ranked as one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world, according to Ramp. Read adds nearly 1MM new accounts per month, with retention rates of over 80%.
