Rob Williams [1:26]: Great. Thanks so much. Thanks for having me. Also, I just wanna do a personal plug and say I love the format that you guys do, so congrats on the 40,000 subscribers as well. Yeah. So my name is Rob. I'm a co founder and CTO at Read AI. Many people know us, and I wince a little bit whenever I hear it, but it's totally fair. They know us as a meeting notetaker, and I understand why. But what we're really, really passionate about and how I think about the business and the way that I frame it to people is that we are capturing all of the conversations that people have throughout their work days so that we can do a whole bunch of valuable things with it. And so it's what comes next that I get excited about.
Sam Nadler [2:05]: Perfect. Yeah. I mean, I think in today's AI age, there's, know, several solutions popping up that provide so much value that didn't exist before. Can you take us through some of the, like, I guess, the latest Read AI features that you're really excited about?
Rob Williams [2:23]: Yeah. So, as I mentioned, one of the ways that I view it is meetings are the, for many companies, literally the biggest investment of time energy and cost that they make. And so how do we just get more out of it? And one of the best ways that we found we could do it, and this was based off of some user data and user studies, was to do a better job of collecting all of the disparate conversations that might happen in, let's say, a 500,000 person company and use it to orient you for your day. So Sam, when you wake up in the morning, how can we have it be the case that your context is hot and hydrated and you know exactly what you're doing and you walk into every meeting that you're about to have prepared based off of all of the information that we've learned about you and the organization?
