Agentic meeting scheduling without the back and forth
The AI Companion meeting scheduling skill uses agentic AI to eliminate the friction of finding a time that works for everyone, whether scheduling with colleagues or external partners. Instead of juggling calendars, tracking multiple time zones, and managing out-of-office notices, AI Companion instantly analyzes all of these factors to surface the most convenient options.
Once a preferred time is selected, AI Companion takes over the coordination process, reaches out to invitees directly, sends meeting requests, and keeps a real-time pulse on responses, whether via email or Zoom Team Chat. If a proposed time no longer works, it immediately suggests an alternative, ensuring the conversation keeps moving and the meeting is confirmed quickly.
This end-to-end automation prevents scheduling delays and missed opportunities. AI Companion acts as a dedicated meeting coordinator, removing tedious back-and-forth, reducing scheduling errors, and giving teams more time to focus on the discussion itself, not the logistics.
A new asset hub to stay organized and work efficiently
Zoom Hub, now generally available, introduces a streamlined way for users to stay organized and take action across Zoom Workplace. As a central destination within Zoom Workplace, Zoom Hub works with AI Companion to help users create content more efficiently, while also bringing together Zoom meeting recordings, meeting summaries, docs, whiteboards, clips, and more, eliminating the need to jump between tools or hunt for files. Stay organized , with the ability to view your Zoom assets in one place and organize assets by folder.

When using Team Chat in the Zoom Workplace desktop app, users can now see a summary of a document by selecting the summarize icon when hovering over the file card without having to open the file, helping save more time.
Additionally, to help improve AI Companion's ability to handle agentic tasks like meeting scheduling and translating conversations into actionable outcomes for users, Zoom will be among the first to integrate OpenAI's GPT-5 into its AI stack.
Zoom AI Companion's new agentic capabilities and enhancements help users save time in the workday and are included at no additional cost with paid Zoom Workplace plans.
