Introducing AI Meetings & Messaging

The AI Meetings & Messaging add-on for Gemini in Google Workspace is designed to transform how meetings are conducted within Google Meet by integrating several AI-powered features to enhance the user experience and meeting efficiency.

One of the standout features of the AI Meetings & Messaging add-on is its real-time note-taking capability. During meetings, Gemini can automatically capture notes, action items, and even video snippets, providing a comprehensive record of the discussion. After the meeting, it sends a summary to all attendees, ensuring everyone is on the same page and can reference key points and decisions made during the session.

Additionally, Gemini is said to be developing an "attend for me" feature, which will allow it to participate in meetings on behalf of users. This feature will be particularly useful for busy professionals who cannot attend every meeting but still need to stay informed. Gemini can capture all the relevant insights, enabling users to catch up on what they missed without having to sift through lengthy recordings or notes.

Best Gemini Use Cases in Google Meet

Gemini AI significantly enhances the capabilities of Google Meet by introducing a range of features that cater to various business needs. Here are some specific examples of how Gemini can be utilized in real-world scenarios:

1. Create Custom Backgrounds That Align With Your Brand’s Personality

Gemini allows users to generate custom virtual backgrounds for their video calls in Google Meet. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining brand consistency during external meetings or public webinars.

For instance, a company could use Gemini to create backgrounds that incorporate its logo, brand colors, or thematic elements related to the meeting's agenda. This not only enhances the professional appearance of the call but also reinforces brand identity in every interaction.

Here's an example prompt you might use: "Create a background featuring our logo on the top right corner, our brand colors in a gradient design, and the theme of our upcoming product launch."

2. Use the Captions in the AI Meetings & Messaging Add-on to Have More Effective Meetings With Your Global Teams

Gemini's real-time translation of captions can make meetings more inclusive for participants from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Your AI assistant will translate spoken language into captions in real time during your meeting, allowing all participants to follow along in their preferred language. 

For global teams and multinational companies where team members may speak various languages, this feature can take productivity to a new level.

3. Gemini Can Help You Look and Sound Your Best From Your 9am Morning Calls

While we all try to look our best for work, sometimes we could use a little help — especially for all those early-morning meetings. Gemini in Google Meet helps you spruce up you and your surroundings if you’ve been sleeping in, or if the lighting isn’t the best at the time.

That goes for both looks and sounds. Overall, quality improvement is a vital feature for professionals who engage in frequent video conferencing so they present a polished and professional image.

Gemini's capabilities include adjusting poor lighting, enhancing sound quality by filtering out background noise, and improving overall video clarity.

4. Keep Your Focus During Your Meetings by Having AI Take Notes For You

One of the standout features of Gemini in Google Meet is its ability to assist with note-taking during meetings, a tool that significantly enhances meeting productivity and ensures no critical information is missed. 

The "Take Notes for Me" feature utilizes Gemini's AI capabilities to automatically document the key points and discussions of a meeting, which can be especially beneficial in detailed or fast-paced meetings.
