Google Meet is introducing a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature that will allow users to receive AI-generated notes after a meeting has concluded. On Tuesday, the tech giant announced the rollout of the feature for its Workspace users. Known as “Take notes for me,” it uses Gemini AI’s capabilities to transcribe and summarize key discussion points during a meeting. Notably, the feature was first introduced by the company last year, however, it was only available in beta until now.
Google Meet incorporates an AI-powered note-taker
The announcement was made by Google on its Workspace blog, where the company noted that the feature will be rolled out gradually starting August 27. Users could take up to 15 days before they see it on their device. The “Take notes for me” feature is available to Google Workspace users who have Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education Premium, or the AI Meetings & Messaging add-ons.
Once the AI feature is available, users will be able to find it in the Gemini AI icon (sparkle pencil) at the top right of the Meet interface. Clicking on the icon will display a brief description of how “Take notes for me” works and a button to enable it. After enabling it, a new document will be created in the meeting organizer’s Drive.
While by default, Gemini's feature only takes notes and does not transcribe everything that was said, there is also an option to turn on transcription. Additionally, the same menu interface also displays an option to record the meeting.
Participants can also tap the same icon to check the summary that has been generated so far at any time during the meeting. While the feature has been rolled out to Google Meet, it is currently only available on desktop or laptop computers and note-taking is enabled only when participants are speaking in English.
