An upcoming update to Google Meet will allow users to automatically grade and summarize their video calls.
Google is one of the leaders in meeting and video calling solutions. With its “Google Meet” feature, the company is used by many professionals to organize long-distance meetings or presentations.
But if there is another point on which Google has invested massively in recent years, it is artificial intelligence. Google Meet is no exception and the tool will soon be equipped with a very practical feature: automatic note-taking during your calls.
During a video call with Google Meet, a new button will soon appear. By clicking on this little magic wand icon, it will be possible to launch the Gemini AI assistant and automatically take notes of your meeting. The assistant will also be able to remember any URL links that you send on the meeting chat to add them to the notes, but also record your discussions in audio format to find them later.
Google says that this new feature will be very useful for finding the main points of meetings, but also for latecomers who will be able to access a summary of all the discussions they may have missed before joining the call.
Unveiled at a conference in 2023, this Google Meet feature is scheduled to be deployed massively around September 10, 2024. It will however only be available in English when it is released, but Google has already shown that its AI-based solutions are gradually being refined before opening up to more languages.
