Zoom AI Companion

What is Zoom AI Companion?

Zoom AI Companion is the AI assistant integrated into Zoom — the world's most popular video conferencing platform. AI Companion helps with summarizing meetings, identifying action items, transcribing conversations and answering questions about the content of meetings. A major advantage: AI Companion is included in paid Zoom plans at no additional cost.

How does AI Companion work?

Zoom AI Companion transcribes meetings in real time. At the end of the meeting, it automatically generates a summary with the key points and action items. Participants who were late or missed the meeting can ask the AI: "What did I miss?" or "What are my action items?"

Outside meetings, AI Companion can also be used as a writing assistant in Zoom Chat: composing emails, rewriting messages and answering questions based on meeting transcripts.
