Google Meet’s Gemini AI now suggests next steps, assigns due dates, and tags stakeholders after meetings for better team collaboration.
Google Meet’s Gemini-powered note-taking feature is becoming more useful for Workspace teams. At the end of meetings, it will now generate a checklist of suggested next steps, including assigning due dates and attaching a primary stakeholder to the task.
The note-taking feature was launched in August last year. I’ve played around with it here at The Verge since then, and thus far, it hasn’t produced totally disastrous results.
Gemini’s voice-to-text transcription can accurately separate speakers and produce a mostly accurate account of everything discussed, though it’s not always perfect. It summarizes the result with a surprisingly coherent and cohesive structure in a Google Doc automatically shared with participants after the meeting’s conclusion.

I’m not ready to substitute my creative liberty with artificial intelligence. But barring any concerns about sensitive information being exposed to a large language model, I might be a little more welcoming of AI helping out with note-taking.
This new action items feature will start rolling out today, though Google says that it will be rolling out at “a much slower pace than usual as we carefully monitor performance and quality.”
