Company Overview
ReadingMinds.AI is an AI-native voice research platform that turns customer conversations into cited, decision-ready insights. The platform features Emma, an emotionally intelligent AI interviewer who conducts natural voice interviews and classifies six core emotions with real-time intensity scoring, producing the ReadingMinds Emotional Fingerprint™. Marketing, CX, and revenue teams use ReadingMinds to uncover the emotions that drive buyer behavior, then translate those signals into sharper messaging, faster pipeline, and lower churn. Reports with traceable quotes and emotional signals are delivered in hours, not weeks. A secure MCP Server (available Q2, 2026) makes customer truth queryable by AI agents across the enterprise stack.

What Makes ReadingMinds Different
Emotionally Intelligent AI
Emma doesn’t just transcribe words. She classifies six core emotions (sad, angry, confrontational, neutral, cheerful, enthusiastic) and scores each on a 1 to 9 intensity scale, in real time through voice analysis.
Traceable Insights™
Every finding links back to the exact quote and timestamp. No black-box summaries. Click any insight, see the source quote + timestamp.
3-Minute Conversations, Not 20-Minute Surveys
85%+ completion rates vs. industry-average 15%. Respondents talk naturally; Emma adapts follow-up questions on the fly.
Results in Hours, Not Weeks
Traditional research takes 6–8 weeks and costs $80,000+. ReadingMinds delivers cited, decision-ready insights the same day.
