Google Meet update brings smarter AI-powered notes
Taking notes in meetings just got easier, as Google Meet’s AI-powered transcription feature now creates action items automatically.
Google Meet’s AI-driven note-taking feature is getting a major upgrade with the ability to generate action items from meeting transcripts. The update, powered by Google’s Gemini AI, will automatically identify key tasks, assign deadlines, and designate responsible individuals at the end of each meeting.
Originally launched in August 2024, the AI transcription tool already provides accurate speaker separation and structured summaries in Google Docs. With this latest enhancement, the technology aims to improve productivity by ensuring that key takeaways are actionable and well-organised.
The feature begins rolling out today but at a slower pace than usual, as Google closely monitors its performance and quality. While AI-generated notes can be a helpful time-saver, some users may still prefer manual control over meeting documentation, especially when handling sensitive information.
