Google recently announced that it’s rolling out its new “Take notes for me” feature in Google Meet, which gives Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers (alongside eligible Workspace business users) access to automated note-taking on both web and mobile devices, using Gemini within the backend.
The new tool operates in the background with user permission to transcribe conversations, as well as generate real-time meeting summaries, and even track key action items. Once a meeting concludes, the system can also save the summary to a Google Doc in the host’s Google Drive account, and distribute an instant recap email to participants.
Hosts can activate the feature during an active call by clicking the pencil icon at the top of the Google Meet window, or enable it for all future meetings through the “Meeting records” section in their Google Meet settings. All participants will receive an automated notification when the note-taking feature is active.
Google adds that the new feature is currently available in select languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
