Overview

Zoom AI Companion is now available for most Rice University Zoom users. Zoom AI Companion uses generative artificial intelligence to compose responses, summarize meetings, and highlight information from notes. This article provides more information on the following features: Meeting Summary, AI Companion Questions, Smart Recording, and Whiteboard Content Generation features. Some sub-accounts may be limited due to compliance considerations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). 

Meeting Summary

Meeting Summary with Zoom AI Companion uses AI technology, which may include third-party models, and allows meeting hosts to initiate an AI-generated summary of their meeting. When the host enables this feature in a meeting, participants may automatically receive a summary after the meeting ends, if the host chose to share the summary with participants.

• Organize your cloud recording into sections called smart chapters
• Get the key takeaways in a quick and digestible format through recording highlights
• Identify action items to take after the meeting or webinar with next steps
• Provide the host analytics on key meeting and conversation factors
  • Talk speed
  • Talk-listen ratio
  • Longest spiel (or monologue)
  • Filler word usage and patience
