Read AI MCP Adoption Surges In Launch Phase

May 12, 2026

Usage of Read AI's MCP and our ChatGPT connector continues to hit new record highs, doubling week-over-week at launch and now compounding at ~40% weekly growth.

“By bringing your full meeting history into connected AI platforms including ChatGPT and Claude, we’re giving AI models the context they need to understand how your organization runs,” says David Shim, CEO and Co-Founder of Read AI. ”This frees our users to deliver higher-value work that drives business goals.”

How it works

Read AI connects your complete meeting history to AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, and Claude Code and other MCP-compatible clients like Microsoft Copilot Studio. Connections to Personal Knowledge Graphs are coming soon. 

  • Ask anything, get informed answers. Query your AI tool of choice using real company context pulled from meetings, and soon emails, messages, documents, and connected platforms.
  • Cited responses by default. Every answer includes source references, so you can verify where insights came from. 
  • Code reflects ongoing conversations. Use the full content, and not just one meeting or a short summary, to generate code that reflects what your team really wants.
  • With the OpenAI Connector, no data training by default. Your data remains private. This promise is extended to OpenAI, which will not use Read AI data to train its AI models. 
  • Connectors respect existing permissioning. Rooted in Read AI's longstanding commitment to privacy and security, individuals will only have access to data they’re authorized to view.

Newform, a global marketing collective driving tens of millions of views every day, needed a way to keep every team member deeply aligned on the full context of each client relationship. "With the Read AI MCP, we built an internal assistant that connects our best practices to the complete history of every account,” says Alec Velikanov, CTO & Co-Founder of Newform. “It's changed how we onboard, strategize, and stay aligned. The institutional knowledge that used to require tribal memory is now on demand."

“We’re seeing teams hold a meeting, ask ChatGPT for a PRD, and get something that reflects that conversation as well as months of prior decisions,” said Justin Farris, VP Product at Read AI. “That’s our customers’ new reality, and it speeds up execution by more than 3X.” 

What this unlocks

  1. Prepare instantly. Ask your AI tool for a full briefing before a customer call using months of prior conversations, or a spreadsheet tracking commitments across planning sessions. 
  2. Automate follow-through. Use an AI tool to draft updates and follow-ups grounded in actual meeting decisions over time.
  3. Eliminate knowledge gaps. Query past discussions without needing onboarding or ongoing updates.
  4. Use autonomous workflows. Ask your AI tool to regularly update you on status and independently create new artifacts on an ongoing basis. 
  5. Create outputs for seamless handoffs. Use your AI tool for slide decks, PRDs, or customer memos rooted in insights from weeks of conversations.
