What sets AI Companion apart

  • No additional costs or vendors

    Zoom Workplace provides all essential tools for AI-driven work across documents, chat, email, and more. It's included with paid Zoom licenses at no extra cost. For enhanced capabilities, the Custom AI Companion add-on is available for $12 per user monthly.

  • Easy-to-use

    Intuitive and seamless experience that works across Zoom Meetings, Phone, Team Chat, Docs, and more. Feel confident in the results with responses based on your communication within Zoom.

  • Your content is yours

    We don't use customer content 
to train our AI models or third-party models used in our features. Learn more about responsible AI backed by Zoom.

  • Answers at your fingertips

    AI Companion provides knowledge sourced from the 
web, your Zoom content, and connected data sources to help with all types of tasks – from meeting preparation and project plans to sales pitches, and more.

Couch Cork

“With every product, people always tell you this will save your time. But I actually have things I need to be doing. Now that we use Zoom AI Companion, I can say every month, in the second week I’m going to have a whole day – 8 full hours – when I can just focus on this exam. That’s huge. I wasn't able to do that before.”

AI Companion's transparent, easy, and comprehensive experience

Transparency is critical with AI tools

Zoom AI Companion provides full transparency to meeting participants about active AI features. You can customize in-meeting notices with branding and other info, while some competitors charge for customizing AI recording disclaimers.

No additional setup required

Other AI tools often require setup and add bots as meeting participants, creating clutter in your Zoom meetings. AI Companion sits in the top right corner of your meeting, with features easily toggled with a single click.

Expansive and accurate AI capabilities

Many AI tools are limited to in-meeting support and don't work across your workday. Unlike competitors like Otter.AI and Fathom that focus primarily on transcripts and summaries, AI Companion works seamlessly across meetings, chats, docs, email, and calendar — delivering accurate meeting summaries and reliable 
next steps.
