Zoom has launched Zoom AI Companion 2.0, just weeks after being announced at Zoomtopia. AI Companion 2.0 is the next generation of the company’s AI assistant that can surface important information, prioritise what matters most, and turn interactions across Zoom Workplace into action.
AI Companion 2.0 is enhanced with additional capabilities to help expand context, synthesize information, and take action.
Zoom head of product, workplace AI, meetings and spaces, Jeff Smith said, “We’re thrilled with AI Companion’s ability to help boost productivity throughout the workday. With our new capabilities, AI Companion has the power to help people make the most of their meetings, kickstart documents, get important information, and transform their workday.
“The substantial added value that we’re delivering is just the beginning. Zoom is hyper-focused on customer experience, and in the coming weeks, we’ll support broader queries across Zoom Workplace, improve response times, and enable AI Companion to take more actions for the user.”
Users can find Zoom AI Companion 2.0 via a convenient side panel within Zoom Workplace, where it can help them by surfacing important information and turning interactions into actions. With AI Companion 2.0, users get a powerful personal assistant to help navigate their work with reliable and responsible AI.
AI Companion 2.0 is bolstered with new capabilities, including expanded context by remembering prior interactions and providing relevant suggestions, and synthesizing information with access across Zoom Workplace, including Zoom Meetings, Zoom Team Chat, Zoom Docs, Zoom Mail, and, if connected, Microsoft Outlook mail and calendar, Google Calendar, Gmail, and uploaded documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
AI Companion 2.0 can help identify and complete next steps and action items. With the launch of Zoom Tasks in late 2024, it will soon help users get more done by surfacing, tracking, and completing actions across Zoom Workplace.
