Google Meet has launched an exciting new AI feature - "Take Notes for Me", bringing a more convenient meeting experience to Google Workspace users. This function can intelligently summarize meeting content instead of simply transcribing it, greatly improving meeting efficiency. Currently, the feature is only available in English, but it has huge potential, especially for users who miss meetings or have difficulty taking notes.
Google Meet recently launched an eye-catching AI feature - Take Notes for Me, which will bring a more convenient meeting experience to Google Workspace users. Starting today, users with Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education Premium or AI Meetings & Messaging add-ons will be able to experience this new feature. It is different from traditional transcription tools. Take Notes for Me can intelligently summarize the meeting content instead of simply recording what everyone said.
This feature, first unveiled at the Google Cloud Next conference in 2023, is currently only available in English, but its potential is huge, especially for those who have missed important meetings and can effectively reduce their stress. After the meeting, AI will automatically organize the notes and save them to Google Docs, while also attaching the document to the calendar event for easy reference later. In addition, this document is automatically sent to the meeting organizer and other attendees who have this feature turned on.
If you're late for a meeting, this new feature in Google Meet can also provide you with a summary of what you missed, helping you quickly catch up on the progress of the meeting. Even more thoughtfully, if you use Google Meet's recording and transcription tools at the same time, the meeting notes will also include links to relevant files.
This feature is also very friendly for those who have difficulty processing spoken information and taking notes. It may enable them to pay more attention in meetings without constantly asking others to repeat themselves.
However, Google expects to complete the rollout to all Google Workspace customers by September 10, 2024, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the functionality. AI transcription tools occasionally make errors, and the automatically generated text may need to be double-checked and corrected when used. Despite this, we still have expectations for Google Meet to become a better note-taking assistant.
