Technology Desk: Claude AI in Google Meet: Now during video meetings, AI will not be limited to just preparing a summary of the conversation, but will also be able to participate in the discussion and work. AI company Anthropic has introduced a new feature called Claude Meetings. With its help, users will be able to add Claude as a participant in a Google Meet call.
According to Anthropic, Claude will understand the conversations going on in the meeting while helping to plan, create a timeline, and answer questions in the meeting chat. Its purpose is to carry forward the work started after the end of the meeting during the discussion itself.
Claude will work live in the meeting
The AI in Claude Meetings will appear in a video call like a normal participant. Team members will be able to ask Claude to work while discussing a project, app, or data analysis. For example, if the team is planning a new project, Claude can help create a plan and timeline based on the discussion.
It will also be able to answer questions asked during the meeting in chat. When needed, it can help in the discussion by taking information from connected work apps. Notes, action items and other documents prepared by Claude after the meeting will be available on claude.ai.
Currently, Team and Enterprise users will get the feature
Anthropic has currently launched Claude Meetings in beta version. Initially this feature will be available on Google Meet for users of the company's Team and Enterprise plans. The company plans to support it on other meeting platforms as well.
For security reasons, Claude will announce his presence at the meeting and post a notice in the chat. According to TechCrunch report, it will not join calls with external guests without the permission of the administrator. If an external guest joins during the call, Claude will automatically leave the meeting.
Whiteboards and Sheets also introduced with Claude
Anthropic has also introduced other work-related features with Claude Meetings. With the help of Claude Whiteboards, the team will be able to organize ideas and create timelines and action plans. Whereas in Claude Sheets, spreadsheets can be prepared and edited with the help of Claude.
The company's emphasis is on developing Claude as an assistant to assist in everyday office work rather than just an AI tool that answers questions.
