Why AI?

Issues In The Workplace

Too much time is spent on repetitive tasks – “60% of a person’s time at work is spent on work about work, not on skilled work” – Asana.
Collaboration overload – “90% of people are burned out from collaborative demands” – HBR.
Stagnation of skills – “Nearly 60% of employees believe their skills have gone stagnant since the pandemic” – Forbes.

Benefits of AI

Removing repetitive tasks and increasing quality

Automating repetitive tasks and providing a strong baseline for day-to-day tasks (i.e., composing emails, sharing notes, etc.) that enable everyone to deliver better quality and faster.

Information capture, synthesis and sharing

Keeping teammates connected no matter when or where they work by capturing and sharing context and supporting co-creation.

Insights and feedback

Understanding how you communicate and collaborate with others and providing feedback and insights that help you improve.

Research from Zoom shows there is a need for a solution that provides the benefits of AI whilst addressing quality, privacy, cost, adoption and other issues – across the enterprise.

Why Zoom AI Companion?

Zoom AI Companion Smart Recording

1) High Quality

Zoom’s federated approach to AI helps deliver high-quality results and lowers costs by dynamically incorporating its own Zoom large language models, along with third-party models such as Meta Llama 2, OpenAI and Anthropic.

2) Included At No Extra Cost

Zoom AI Companion is now included at no additional cost for customers with the paid services in their Zoom user accounts, so those customers and their employees can benefit from the power of generative AI* straight away – just look for the Zoom AI icon.

3) Platform-Wide

Zoom AI Companion capabilities are available across the entire Zoom platform including Meetings, Team Chat, Phone, Email and Whiteboard. Connected third-party apps are also integrated with Zoom AI Companion, ensuring users are empowered no matter how they communicate and collaborate.

4) Easy To Use

Zoom AI Companion capabilities are embedded within the intuitive, simple, easy-to-use Zoom experience that you already know to drive usage and adoption.

5) Trusted

Zoom does not use any customer audio, video, chat, screen-sharing, attachments or other communications like customer content (poll results, whitboard, reactions) to train Zoom’s or any third-party AI models.

6) You’re In Control

Account owners and administrators control whether to enable these AI features for their accounts. Zoom provides admins and users control and visibility when AI features are being used or activated.
