At Zoomtopia 2025, Zoom announced a wave of AI features: a cross-platform AI notetaker, lifelike avatars, smarter scheduling, and productivity upgrades.
The AI notetaker now works across Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and in-person meetings, competing directly with Otter, Fireflies, Granola, and Read AI. Zoom also unveiled photorealistic AI avatars, raising both excitement and concerns about deepfakes.
Other updates include:
AI-enhanced scheduling & calendar tools
Real-time live translation
AI writing assistant for emails/docs
Custom AI agents with MCP support
Zoom is positioning itself as a full productivity suite, not just a video conferencing app.
Do you think Zoom can beat niche AI startups—or will specialized tools still win?
