Is Read AI safe to use?
Read AI is a real product with a privacy policy and security practices, but it joins meetings as a visible bot and processes conversation data in the cloud, and AI notetakers broadly face growing 2026 privacy litigation. That's a real consideration for sensitive calls. Reline takes a different posture: it's bot-free and private by default.

The details
- Read AI typically joins calls as a participant bot to capture audio, video, and meeting analytics, so attendees can see it's present and recording.
- Law firms have flagged a broader 2026 climate of privacy and wiretap litigation around AI notetakers, so evaluate any bot-based tool against your consent obligations.
- As with any cloud tool, review Read AI's own privacy policy and data-retention settings before using it on confidential meetings.
- Reline never sends a bot: it captures audio locally on your device, is private by default (no one sees a note without an explicit grant), and doesn't add a participant to your call.
