Google’s Gemini AI can now take notes during your Meet video calls

Google Meet is getting a new AI tool called Take Notes for Me, which will generate summaries of key points from a video call. Rather than offering a word-for-word transcript, this feature uses Gemini AI to record key points of the discussion in a Google Doc that will appear in the meeting owner’s Google Drive. The document can be automatically sent to participants or added to the calendar event after the call. It will also include links to the meeting recording and transcript if those features have been enabled.

Google Workspace customers with the Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education Premium, and AI Meetings & Messaging add-ons will be the first to get access to this note-taking feature. Its use is currently limited to English language and desktop or mobile meetings.

The tech company announced plans to bring generative AI to more services last year and has since made a major push to integrate AI features into its hardware and software. Its Gemini AI assistant is currently growing into a workhorse. As always, the usefulness of these features will vary depending on how well the AI ​​works and how accurate it is. The specter of Google telling people to eat will likely continue to loom over its ongoing efforts in this area.
