"Read AI said that the assistant will be available to all users, and they can start configuring it by sending an email to "ada@read.ai" and writing "Get me started." When you ask Ada to find a time to meet with someone, it replies to the other person in the thread with your availability. If the other person replies that they are unavailable at those times and would like a different time slot, Ada responds with new options."
"Ada can also answer questions using a company's knowledge base, topics discussed in your prior meetings, and public internet searches. For instance, you can ask, "Ada, can you provide an update on how we are tracking for Q1 goals?" to get information. If someone else asks a question in a thread, Ada will prepare a response for you and help you refine it before it is sent to the other person."
"Read AI's VP of Product, Justin Farris, said that the new feature doesn't rely on MCPs (Model Context Protocols, a technical standard for connecting AI tools to external services), and instead builds a knowledge graph based on meeting data and connected services for more contextual answers. He added that over time, the assistant will also take proactive actions for you."
Read AI introduced Ada, an AI-powered email assistant designed to function as a digital twin handling administrative tasks around the clock. Users activate Ada by emailing ada@read.ai with "Get me started." The assistant manages meeting scheduling by proposing times based on calendar access and negotiating alternative slots when needed, while protecting meeting privacy. Ada answers questions using company knowledge bases, prior meeting discussions, and internet searches. It drafts email responses for user review before sending and never shares sensitive information without permission. Unlike solutions using Model Context Protocols, Ada builds a knowledge graph from meeting data and connected services for contextual intelligence. The assistant will eventually take proactive actions, such as reminding users about follow-up items mentioned during meetings.
