Zoom is stepping up its AI game, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your work. Starting this month, Zoom’s AI Companion will be able to schedule meetings, create documents, and even generate video clips, all without you lifting a finger.
That’s not all. A new voice recorder is coming to the Zoom Workplace mobile app, allowing users to record, transcribe, and summarize in-person meetings. And in May, real-time live notes will roll out, letting users see instant summaries of Zoom meetings and phone calls.
Here’s what you need to know about these game-changing updates.
AI That Does the Work for You
Imagine finishing a Zoom call and having follow-up meetings automatically scheduled or a summary document ready to send to your team. That’s exactly what Zoom’s AI Companion will now offer.
Users can access these features through a new Tasks tab in Zoom Workplace, where the AI can:
- Schedule follow-up meetings based on discussion points.
- Generate documents summarizing key decisions.
- Create short video clips capturing important moments.
These updates are designed to save time, reduce manual work, and make collaboration smoother.
