Keep reading to learn how this new Zoom innovation could be a total game-changer for your productivity and work relationships.
Save Hours with an AI Assistant
Let's be honest - there's a lot of repetitive, tedious tasks that eat up our day, like reading long email chains to get up to speed, responding to simple chat messages, or reviewing meeting notes. Zoom found these kinds of mundane tasks can consume over 60% of the workday!
That's why AI Companion is so transformative. It can take care of these minor assignments so you can focus on substantive work that moves the needle for your career and company.
Missed an important meeting? No problem - AI Companion creates detailed summaries so you don't have to track people down or play back recordings. For chats, it summarizes long threads and suggests responses to plow through your backlog in no time.
Soon, the AI assistant will even help write emails by generating thoughtful drafts based on your prompts. And it provides handy meeting transcripts plus summaries of calls and voicemails.
By automating repetitive tasks, AI Companion lets you make the most of your precious time. Hours lost to admin work become available again for strategic thinking and high-impact projects.
Collaborate Seamlessly with Your Team
Beyond personal productivity, AI Companion takes collaboration to the next level by keeping teams connected and aligned.
Running late to a meeting? Ask AI Companion to recap what you missed so you can jump right into the discussion when you arrive.
During meetings, it takes notes, identifies key takeaways, and outlines next steps and action items. Now everyone leaves on the same page without having to constantly ask "what did we decide on this?"
AI Companion also generates post-meeting summaries so every participant gets clear recaps and follow-ups. No more dropped balls due to miscommunication.
For chats, the AI assistant can detect when conversations need a real-time meeting and automatically prompt scheduling. It even organizes brainstorming ideas into categories so teams can turn thoughts into action plans more efficiently.
Build Skills with an AI Coach
In addition to saving time and supercharging teamwork, AI Companion also functions as a digital coach to level up your professional skills.
For Zoom calls and meetings, it gives real-time feedback on speaking pace, listen-to-speak ratios, filler words and more, so presenters can improve public speaking.
The AI also provides tips throughout your day to have more impactful conversations and come across as influential, compelling and clear in your communications.
By providing personalized coaching and feedback, AI Companion helps you present yourself at your best while developing career-boosting skills.
AI That You Can Trust
Zoom knows that data privacy and responsible development of AI are top priorities for its users. That's why AI Companion is designed to be transparent and ethical:
- User content like meeting recordings and chat messages is NEVER used to train Zoom's AI models. Your data stays private.
- Customers have full control over enabling/disabling AI capabilities under their account settings. Specific features can be turned on or off at any time.
- Zoom uses a patented, federated learning approach to developing AI that keeps data secure in transit and use.
