Zoom AI Companion Reaches 1 Mln Meeting Summaries

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- Zoom Video Communications Inc (Zoom) announced its AI Companion, the generative artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, has achieved a milestone with more than 125,000 users accounts, generating more than one million meeting summaries in less than two months after its launch.

In a statement, Zoom said it also unveiled its new capabilities, additional language support, and further enhancements to existing capabilities for AI Companion.

“Providing the best value to our customers across our platform is core to our mission, which is why we made AI Companion available at no additional cost, and we continue to introduce new AI capabilities at Zoom speed, so more of our customers can get the most out of Zoom’s AI innovations.

“Our unique federated approach allows us to dynamically utilise different models, helping to reduce AI overhead costs and provide broad access to generative AI,” said its chief product officer, Smita Hashim.

AI Companion users will now be able to use the in-meeting questions capability in seven new languages, in preview, as well as receive short meeting summary overviews at the beginning of full meeting summaries.

Zoom will continue to improve AI Companion, with several new capabilities planned to be available in November including support for a total of 32 new languages, in preview, in both AI Companion meeting summary and in-meeting questions capabilities.

AI Companion will provide users with meeting coach capabilities; and it will be available in Zoom Events; as well as introduction of an optional control for customers to specify that AI Companion capabilities for their organisation only use the Zoom large language model.
