Tool Spotlight: AI Companion in Zoom

Take your meetings to the next level with AI Companion, a recently added feature within Zoom meetings. When enabled by the meeting host, AI Companion will automatically summarize a meeting hosted on Zoom, organizing different topics into chapters and automatically identifying highlights such as next steps. AI Companion automatically shares its summary with the meeting host, who can then choose to share the summary with other participants. Stay focused and save time! 

How do I use AI Companion? 

When hosting a Zoom meeting, simply click the AI Companion button located in your Zoom toolbar.
