You can now finish your Zoom calls, and let AI handle the rest

What if your next Zoom call didn’t just end with a “Thanks, everyone,” but triggered a flurry of follow-ups, a polished recap, and even a draft email, without you lifting a finger? Well this is what Zoom’s latest suite of Agentic AI additions can do for you.

Zoom’s new AI will be your note taker, email writer, and more!

One of the best known names in the world of video calling software, Zoom, has quietly taken a bold step beyond video conferencing, launching enhanced AI Companion tools with what it calls “agentic skills.” But don’t let the jargon fool you. This isn’t another passive note-taker. It’s a behind-the-scenes workhorse built to automate the swirl of tasks that follow every meeting.

With the Custom AI Companion add-on, users can assign action-based prompts to Zoom’s AI. This includes summarising discussions, generating follow-up emails, or coordinating with tools like Slack and email to actually move the needle on projects.

Imagine this – You wrap up a 45-minute strategy session. Before you’ve even returned to your inbox, your AI has distilled the meeting into bullet points, shared action items with the team, and set up the next call. Suddenly, productivity doesn’t feel so exhausting.

Zoom’s approach leans heavily into “agentic behaviour”, where AI acts on your behalf, with your intent, but without your constant input. It’s the digital equivalent of having a sharp, reliable assistant who never misses a beat.

For solopreneurs, project managers, and hybrid teams, this could mean fewer late nights and forgotten to-dos. It’s early days, sure, but the signal is clear that Zoom wants to be more than just a meeting room. It wants to be your workplace engine. The one stop shop for everything you need to keep your shop going.

Now, the real question is – how much of your workflow are you willing to trust to your AI sidekick?
