Google has launched a new feature in Google Meet that uses its Gemini AI model to update users on what they missed during meetings, even if they joined late or had to step away briefly.

The feature, part of a wider suite of productivity tools powered by Gemini, allows users to simply “Ask Gemini” for a real-time summary of the conversation so far, eliminating the need to interrupt colleagues or sift through transcripts.

Whether joining late due to scheduling conflicts or temporary disconnections, users can quickly catch up by asking Gemini to summarise key discussion points, decisions made, and action items raised before their arrival.

Google says the feature reflects its ambition to make AI genuinely useful in the workplace, enhancing clarity, continuity, and focus during meetings rather than merely automating tasks.

The Gemini integration brings several enhancements to Google Meet, including:

The AI-generated notes also include timestamps and links to corresponding points in the transcript, offering further transparency and the ability to revisit parts of the conversation in detail.

These features are being rolled out progressively across various Google Workspace editions.

The “Ask Gemini” feature is currently available on desktop for select business and education customers, including:

Currently, English is the only supported language. However, Google says broader language support and mobile functionality are expected in future updates.
