During the keynote at Enterprise Connect 2024, Smita Hashim, Chief Product Officer at Zoom, unveiled several new developments aimed at improving the way people work and communicate. Zoom, primarily known for its video conferencing platform, is expanding its offerings to address challenges faced by modern offices, such as communication overload, lost productivity, and disengaged teams.
Hashim announced the introduction of Zoom Docs, a collaborative workspace that includes notes, huddles, a scheduler, and an AI Companion. This addition is available to users at no extra cost and integrates collaboration and communication tools within a single interface.
The AI Companion, already utilized by half a million customers, boasts a 95% transcription accuracy and performs four times faster than ChatGPT-4, reducing errors by 60%. The AI Companion also extends to Zoom Phone, creating call summaries, prioritizing voicemails, and extracting tasks.
Zoom emphasizes trust and privacy in its approach to AI, stating that they do not use customer information to train their AI models. The AI Companion is included in all licenses at no additional cost, making enhanced productivity accessible to all users.
Zoom Workplace was the centerpiece of their Enterprise Connect booth. The platform now includes over 40 new features, and the Zoom App Marketplace offers 2,500 integrations. These enhancements are designed to create better business outcomes for organizations worldwide. Hashim stated, “When employees are happy, your customers are happy,” emphasizing the importance of employee satisfaction in driving customer satisfaction.
