Google Workspace Updates: Ask Gemini in Meet: Your Personal Meeting Assistant (original) (raw)

September 17, 2025

What’s changing

Ask Gemini in Meet will soon be available in Google Meet for select Google Workspace customers, offering advanced features to improve your meeting experience.

You can use Ask Gemini to:

Summarize ongoing discussions, or get a recap of what someone said
Improve meeting outcomes by identifying key takeaways, decisions, and action items
Catch up on what you missed if you joined late (if Take Notes for Me was enabled)

Additional details

A user’s interactions and responses from Ask Gemini in Meet are private to that user.
Ask Gemini generates answers by referring to meeting captions, Google Workspace resources (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, etc.) that the user has permission to view, and content from Google search and public websites.
No caption data will be stored after the meeting ends. Ask Gemini in Meet does not create a meeting recording.
Ask Gemini in Meet cannot answer questions about meeting discussions that happen before the user has joined the meeting, unless Take Notes for Me had already been turned on before they joined.
Only meetings in English are currently supported, but support for more languages is coming soon.
Ask Gemini in Meet is only available on desktop at this time.
Ask Gemini in Meet is not available in breakout rooms at this time.
Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so users should review its output.
