Why People Are Leaving Read.ai
Intrusive engagement scores
“Read.ai sends a report rating how 'engaged' my team was during the meeting. It's incredibly dystopian and my employees hate it.”
Source: Reddit r/management
Bot auto-joins EVERYTHING
“I connected my calendar and the bot started joining highly confidential 1-on-1s and performance reviews without my permission. Absolute nightmare.”
Source: Trustpilot
Aggressive email spam
“It sends meeting summaries to everyone on the calendar invite, even people who declined the meeting. I've had to apologize to clients.”
