Who Zoom AI Companion is best for
Businesses already paying for Zoom Workplace that want meeting summaries and basic AI help without adding another notetaker. Pick the ZoomMate add-on if you want agents and workflows centred on Zoom.
Key features
- Meeting summaries and transcription inside Zoom Meetings
- Call summaries and voicemail prioritisation in Zoom Phone
- Smart compose for chat and email
- ZoomMate add-on: custom agent builder with third-party app connections
- ZoomMate add-on: workflows, document and slide generation, and deep research

Why it’s worth it
If you already pay for Zoom, the core summaries come at no extra cost and work without inviting a separate bot to your calls.
Things to consider
- Core features mainly cover Zoom's own meetings and phone; summaries for Teams or Google Meet calls need another tool
- Advanced agent and workflow features need the separately priced ZoomMate add-on with credit limits
- Naming has changed recently, so check which features your plan actually includes
