Meet Ada: Your New AI Email Assistant for Scheduling
Read AI launched Ada, an AI-powered, email-based assistant designed to manage schedules, answer questions using a company’s knowledge base and meeting history, and draft or send replies such as out-of-office responses. Users can activate Ada by emailing ada@read.ai with “Get me started.” Ada accesses a user’s calendar to propose and negotiate meeting times without revealing meeting details, and can answer queries using meeting data, connected services, and public web searches. Read AI says Ada builds a knowledge graph from meeting data rather than using MCPs (model context protocols) and will expand to Slack and Microsoft Teams. The company reports over 5 million monthly active users, about 50,000 daily sign-ups, a broader content audience of roughly 100,000, and has raised over $81 million in funding.
Read AI Unveils Ada: Your New Email Assistant
Read AI launched Ada, an email-based AI assistant described as a “digital twin” that can manage scheduling, reply to threads with user availability, refine draft replies, and extract answers from a company knowledge base, prior meeting content and public web searches. Users can configure Ada by emailing ada@read.ai. Read AI says Ada accesses connected calendars without revealing meeting details and requires user permission before exposing sensitive information. VP of Product Justin Farris said Ada builds a knowledge graph from meeting data and connected services rather than using MCPs (model context protocols). CEO David Shim said Ada will expand beyond email to Slack and Teams. Read AI reported more than 5 million monthly active users, ~50,000 daily sign-ups, a broader 100,000-user content base and has raised over $81 million in funding.
Yelp AI Assistant Answers Questions and Books Services
Yelp updated its AI assistant to let users ask questions and complete actions — such as making restaurant reservations, ordering food delivery, and booking service professionals — within a single conversational flow. Debuted in 2024, the assistant now uses Yelp platform data plus external integrations to surface business details and initiate actions; integrations at launch include DoorDash, Grubhub, Vagaro, ZocDoc, Repairpal and Calendly. The assistant is exposed in a new central app tab and will be available on iOS and Android at launch, with desktop and broader business rollouts planned later in the year. Actions currently redirect users to partner apps or pages (not full in-chat transactions). Yelp also adds UI and discovery improvements including in-app menu photo views, natural-language media-gallery search, and AI tagging/grouping for business photos.
