Zoom AI Companion

What Is It?

Zoom AI Companion is an integrated, generative AI assistant built into the Zoom platform. It helps UIC users before, during, and after meetings with features like meeting summaries, smart recording, in‑meeting questions, content generation, and conversational assistance. These tools are designed to improve productivity, capture actionable insights, and reduce time spent on manual meeting follow‑ups.
