Google's Gemini AI notetaker now works beyond video calls, generating summaries and transcripts for in-person meetings, Zoom calls, and Microsoft Teams sessions.

The feature, previously limited to Android alpha users, is rolling out more broadly. Gemini can now capture meeting notes whether attendees are on video or physically present. Users can transition in-person meetings to video calls if remote participants need to join. The expansion addresses a practical gap: many organizations run hybrid meetings where some attendees gather in conference rooms while others dial in remotely. Google's move positions Gemini as a unified meeting assistant across platforms. The AI generates both summaries and full transcripts, reducing manual note-taking across different meeting formats. The rollout follows Google's broader push to embed AI across workplace tools. Earlier announcements included the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, targeting IT and technical users for custom business applications. No specific timeline was provided for full availability, though the feature is now available to more users beyond the initial alpha test group.
