AI notetaker that records, transcribes and summarizes meetings — bot-free
Capture meetings with a visible notetaker or completely bot-free, so you can record your way and keep participants comfortable.
Get accurate transcripts, concise summaries and extracted to-dos delivered right after each call.
Search and ask questions across your entire meeting history to surface decisions, commitments and patterns.
Notes, insights and follow-ups flow automatically into Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Asana and other tools.

One-click AI summaries of any webpage from your Chrome sidebar
Press the sidebar button on any page and ReadSmart returns a condensed summary of the page's text without you scrolling through everything.
Rather than dumping the whole page into a summary box, the extension detects the main textual content, which works best on news sites and long-form blogs.
Summaries you have already generated are kept, so you can return to a page you read earlier and jump straight back into the gist.
The extension lives in the Chrome sidebar, so generating a summary never pulls you out of your current tab or workflow.
