Zoom has announced next-generation AI Companion 3.0, which brings the AI assistant from the app to a dedicated web interface. It's no longer just another tool for transcribing and summarizing meetings. Zoom's advanced AI can turn conversations into actionable tasks, create daily reflection reports, draft follow-up emails, and even create documents from meetings and notes.
Free users of Zoom can use the new AI Companion 3.0 for three meetings per month (including features like AI note-taking, in-meeting questions, summaries, and 20 questions from the side panel), but the platform offers the entire suite of AI features for $10 per month (in addition to fees paid for Zoom Workplace).
This update marks Zoom's transition from a simple video conferencing platform to an AI-driven workspace. Set your platform apart by adding agent AI capabilities that can handle meetings, chats, documents, and connected apps.
Additionally, the company follows the Federal AI Models approach, combining its proprietary AI engine with popular models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other open source tools. If you're an avid Zoom user who spends your day juggling work between meetings, emails, to-do lists, documents, and other connected apps, Zoom's new AI Companion 3.0 can help you offload a significant amount of your tasks to AI.
For example, instead of manually summarizing a meeting or writing a follow-up message, you can ask Zoom's AI to do it for you.
This frees up your time for higher value tasks. In the near future, Zoom plans to expand its AI Companion integration. For example, the company can add Gmail and Outlook connectors to the platform to improve personal workflow and document creation tools.
Over time, this could reshape the way your team collaborates using Zoom, allowing everyone to perform everyday tasks more quickly than just hosting calls.
