Listen to the blog...

At some point in your professional career, you received a link to a Zoom meeting but were unable to attend since you were preoccupied with another task. And due to this, many of your most important points have been missed. In that case, you would either sit for hours listening to the recording or get reprimanded by your boss. 

Zoom IQ

If so, Zoom IQ will save you hours and from apologizing to your boss in the future.

Zoom IQ provides access to meeting summaries, collaborative chat composition, and questioning of the speaker without disrupting the flow of the conference, among other features.

Let’s check out Zoom IQ, what it is, and what it offers.

What Is Zoom IQ?

Zoom IQ is an intelligent assistant driven by generative AI that facilitates teamwork and unlocks untapped human potential. Try out the brand-new features, such as the ability to summarize meetings and create messages in the chat, for free right now. Businesses may use Zoom IQ to increase their output, freeing up more time for innovation and better teamwork.

According to Zoom’s chief product officer, Smita Hashim, “With the introduction of these new capabilities in Zoom IQ, an incredible generative AI assistant, teams can further enhance their productivity for everyday tasks, freeing up more time for creative work and expanding collaboration.” Zoom’s federated approach to artificial intelligence allows the company to provide its clients and users with cutting-edge features by leveraging Zoom’s and its partners’ models.

Zoom uses a federated approach to AI, incorporating not just its large language model but also those of other leading AI providers like OpenAI and Anthropic and its customers. Zoom can now meet the varying demands of its clientele and provide excellent value as a result of this adaptability.

What Does Zoom IQ Offer To Its Customers?

In March of 2023, Zoom Video Communications released its artificial intelligence. The first round of features in specific plans became life for free trials on June 5, 2023. 

With this, you will get the following:

1. Meeting Summary

When enabled, Zoom’s new meeting summary feature will automatically summarize each meeting without the need to record it. Zoom’s large language model is put to work. The summary is then forwarded to the host through email and Zoom Team Chat. If you want to boost productivity and teamwork, send it to anybody who couldn’t make it.

2. Email Compose

Emails may be automatically drafted using generative AI based on the context of your previous Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone conversations, and email threads. Zoom IQ for sales already has this functionality, which aids sales representatives in quickly following up with customers depending on the context of the earlier interaction. The ability to write emails from scratch will go out to all users in the near future.

3. Meeting Queries

In the past, a latecomer to a Zoom meeting might cause disruption and be a source of confusion. Users may quietly submit an inquiry through the in-meeting chat and receive a summary of what they missed, generated by generative AI so that they can catch up fast without interfering with the meeting flow. It is expected that the meeting inquiries function will roll out to all users in the near future.

4. Team Chat Compose

The Zoom Team chat’s compose function, driven by generative AI, is available to all users. It uses OpenAI’s technology to predict user intent and create draft messages responding to ongoing conversations. It may be used to alter the message’s tone and length and get input on what should be written. Extremely potent, generative AI can save time and effort to reply to or explain complex concepts to your mates.

5. Whiteboard Draft

At the conclusion of brainstorming sessions, many ideas often require organization prior to implementation. The Whiteboard draft feature enables users to generate preliminary ideas by utilizing text prompts, providing a convenient way to jumpstart the ideation process. The feature has been scheduled for release by Zoom in the upcoming months.

6. Zoom Team Chat Thread Summaries

Returning from a vacation can be daunting, as one may have to go through numerous chat messages. Fortunately, with Zoom IQ’s chat thread summary feature, users can conveniently collect an entire conversation in a single click. Zoom is planning to implement this functionality in the upcoming days. 

7. Whiteboard Synthesize

The process of gathering and organizing concepts can be an uphill task following a collaborative ideation session. The Whiteboard Synthesize feature of Zoom IQ will eliminate any visual clutter for the user. The software has the ability to automatically categorize concepts for efficient access, resulting in improved productivity and time-saving benefits. 

What’s Next: The Model, The Pricing?

Zoom has stated that it may utilize user data to improve and expand the artificial intelligence capabilities of its platform. The aforementioned features are subject to your account settings. Additionally, the organization emphasized its intention to utilize the data for the purpose of training its artificial intelligence models.

You’ll need a Zoom One membership (Basic, Pro, Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus) and Zoom legacy bundles to get your hands on all of the above benefits.

Remember that the Zoom IQ Meeting Summary and Zoom IQ Chat Compose features will only be accessible to users for a limited time as a complimentary trial.
