What is Zoom AI Companion?

Zoom AI Companion is Zoom's own assistant inside the Zoom client: it produces meeting summaries, highlights and next steps, drafts chat and email replies, and generates whiteboard content. It is a general assistant bundled with the platform rather than a standalone notetaker, and on many paid Zoom plans it is included at no extra charge, which is its main practical advantage. It works best for organisations already standardised on Zoom. Feature availability varies by plan and administrator settings, and like any recorder it is visible to participants.

FAQ

Does it cost extra?

On many paid Zoom plans the assistant is included rather than charged per user, which is unusual in this category. Exact availability still depends on your plan tier and what your administrator has switched on.

Is it a full notetaker replacement?

It covers summaries and recaps well for Zoom meetings. It does not offer the cross-platform recording, deep archive search and conversation analytics that dedicated notetakers provide.

Is AI Companion enabled by default?

That depends on the account. Administrators control which features are on, so check the settings before assuming a meeting is or is not being summarised.
