Google Meet Unveils AI Note-Taking and PiP Features to Boost Meeting Productivity and Multitasking
  • Google Meet has rolled out a new feature called 'Take notes for me,' designed to enhance user focus during meetings by automatically taking notes.

  • After meetings conclude, the organizer or anyone who enabled the 'summary so far' feature will receive an email recap link.

  • This feature is currently available to Workspace customers with specific add-ons, such as Gemini Enterprise and AI Meetings and Messaging.

  • Additionally, Google Meet has introduced an automatic picture-in-picture (PiP) feature that activates when users switch tabs, facilitating better multitasking.

  • The PiP feature aims to reduce the frustration of losing track of calls while managing other tasks.

  • The rollout of these features began earlier this week and may take up to 15 days to reach all eligible users.

  • These updates were first announced at the 2023 Cloud Next conference, marking them as some of the most anticipated AI features.

  • Google has been integrating generative AI across various services, including Gmail, Docs, and Sheets, since last year.

  • The introduction of these AI features from Google and Microsoft could challenge existing external AI note-taking service providers.

  • Dave Citron, Google's Senior Director of Product for Meet, highlighted the company's ambition to position Google Meet as a leading video conferencing solution.

  • The effectiveness of these AI features will depend on their performance and accuracy in real-world applications.

  • Future enhancements may include expanded language support for the note-taking feature, broadening its accessibility.
