What critics are saying

  • Microsoft and Google can bundle summaries and transcription into existing suites.[3][6]
  • Behavioral inference and sentiment tracking invite privacy and procurement resistance.[1][2]
  • Localization execution in Brazil is critical; weak support or payments would slow conversion.[6]

Read AI launches email 'digital twin' assistant Ada to manage schedules and answer questions

Read AI has launched Ada, an AI-powered email assistant it calls a "digital twin", to help users manage schedules, answer questions and handle out-of-office replies. The feature is available to all users who can activate it by emailing [email protected]. Ada can coordinate meeting times by responding to email threads with availability options and negotiating alternative slots. It answers queries using company knowledge bases, meeting data and internet searches, whilst preparing draft responses for user approval before sending sensitive information. CEO David Shim said the assistant learns context as users connect more services. Read AI now has over 5 million monthly active users, with 50,000 daily sign-ups. The company has raised over $81 million in funding and plans to expand Ada to Slack and Teams soon.

Why these startup CEOs don't think AI will replace human roles

Why these startup CEOs don't think AI will replace human roles. The CEOs of Read AI and Lucidya told TechCrunch at Web Summit Qatar that they see AI tools replacing tasks, rather than workers.

Startup CEOs say AI will replace tasks, not jobs, as humans remain crucial

Startup CEOs David Shim of Read AI and Abdullah Asiri of Lucidya believe AI will transform tasks rather than eliminate human roles. Speaking at Web Summit Qatar, Shim compared AI to navigation apps, noting humans remain crucial decision-makers even as tools automate routine work. Asiri said AI replaces tasks, not roles, with customer support agents at client companies transitioning to supervisory and business development positions. Shim noted meeting notetakers free workers to focus on higher-value activities like decision-making and customer response. Both companies use AI to maintain lean teams whilst serving large user bases. Read AI's five-person customer service team supports millions of monthly users. The founders emphasised hiring "AI native" employees who can build agents to enhance productivity, aiming to "scale outcomes without scaling headcounts". They also stressed transparency when deploying AI in customer interactions.
