Description:
Google is using Gemini to catch you up on anything and everything you missed on that video call.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Ask Gemini in Meet will fill you in on the details you missed It uses meeting captions, Google Workspace docs, search results and more Availability from launch is limited English, desktop and Business Plus for now

Some Google Workspace customers will soon have access to even more AI tools within Google Meet, including an updated assistant which hopes to answer all your questions.

The updated Ask Gemini in Meet AI assistant promises to summarize ongoing discussions and recap what someone just said, identifying key takeaways, decisions and action items but could this create a new generation of lazy participants who no longer need to pay so much attention?

Gemini will also help call participants catch up with anything theyve missed if they join a video conferencing call late if Take Notes for Me was enabled. Ask Gemini in Meet now available

Googles new Ask Gemini feature will generate answers based on meeting
captions as well as other Google Workspace resources that the user has permission to view. Content from Google search and public websites also influences the results.

The company stressed that interactions and responses are private to each
user, and that captions and meeting data are not stored after the meeting ends.

From launch, only English language meetings will be supported, but Google has promised support for more languages soon. Its also a desktop-only feature,
and its not available in breakout rooms at this time.

All of this is to try and improve efficiency in a world still dominated by more meetings than we probably need, but Google isnt the only company
adapting to the continued use of video calls.

Microsoft confirmed in a recent roadmap entry it will unlock web results,
work files, email and people for Copilot to generate more insightful
responses in Teams meetings.

The company is also working on automatic summaries of messages in chats to help users catch up more quickly, tracked separately.

Ask Gemini in Meet is coming to Google Workspace Business Plus customers first, with Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus and other accounts set to
get access in the coming months. You might also like No more echoes? Google Meet is finally fixing one of the most annoying parts of joining a conference call Our selection of the best AI tools could save you huge amounts of time Weve listed the best productivity apps
