Zoom officially launches AI-powered word processor, Zoom Docs

Zoom has officially released its AI-powered word processor, Zoom Docs, further widened the office software market a little further

Zoom Docs is powered by the company’s Zoom AI Companion, allowing users — specifically, businesses — to work more collaboratively within Zoom’s video conference ecosystem.

With the AI Companion at its heart, Zoom Docs can do things like generate meeting summaries or create reports or action lists.

Participants can create, share, and co-edit documents in real time without leaving the meeting window during meetings.

This feature extends to mobile attendees, who can view and collaborate on documents without needing to sign in. Additionally, users can generate editable and shareable documents that include customizable meeting information, simplifying the dissemination of relevant details.

Users may also initiate or schedule meetings from a Zoom Doc, simplifying the process of gathering colleagues in one location, and they can easily generate, share, and collaborate on documents during a meeting in real time, before sharing them across the Zoom Workplace suite later.

Zoom Docs builds a document utilizing content blocks in a modular fashion, allowing for a totally flexible layout with the addition of images, tables, and bullet blocks to assist design exactly what they need.

The company says Zoom Docs will be included with all paid Zoom Workplace plans, to users of the Zoom Workplace app, version 6.1.6 or later.

Basic (free) Zoom users will be able to create up to 10 shared docs and unlimited personal docs without AI Companion.
