AI Tool News: Read AI Bringing 'Copilot Everywhere' Functions with $50M FundingSeattle-based Read AI raised $50 million in Series B funding to support its ambitious “copilot everywhere” strategy for enterprise productivity software. This comes just six months after a $21 million round, underscoring its rapid growth trajectory. Remarkably, the startup is adding 100,000 new accounts weekly, including 75% of the Fortune 500, all without any marketing expenditure. Founded in 2021, Read began by creating tools to assess video meeting engagement and sentiment but has since expanded. The platform now analyzes diverse communication channels (video, email, messaging) to suggest actionable insights and integrate with tools like HubSpot, Gmail, and Slack. CEO David Shim envisions a “copilot” functionality across platforms, enabling seamless integration and predictive analytics, aiming to automate organizational knowledge sharing. Shim highlights how individual adoption drives organizational growth, with many users starting on the free version and eventually pulling colleagues into the ecosystem. Competitors include major players like Microsoft, Google, and Zoom. Pricing for Read ranges from $15 to $40 per user per month, with the company planning to double its current 40-person team.
