New generative AI-powered assistant helps improve collaboration and productivity<\/h4>\n

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) announced that Zoom AI Companion<\/a> (formerly Zoom IQ), the company\u2019s generative AI digital assistant, is now included at no additional cost for customers with the paid services in their Zoom user accounts\u00b9. AI Companion reinforces Zoom\u2019s vision to deliver limitless human connection on one platform, empowering people by increasing their productivity, enhancing their skills, and improving team effectiveness. Zoom also announced today that Zoom IQ for Sales, its conversational intelligence software, will be renamed Zoom Revenue Accelerator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since Zoom introduced generative AI in early June, thousands of companies have benefited from free trials of Team Chat compose and Meeting summary<\/a>. Beginning this fall, Zoom will significantly expand its generative AI offering across its platform with the launch of AI Companion, at no additional cost with paid Zoom user accounts.<\/p>\n

Zoom\u2019s federated approach to AI delivers high-quality results and lowers costs by dynamically incorporating its own large language models, along with third-party models such as Meta Llama 2, OpenAI, and Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Rooted in this unique approach, Zoom AI Companion delivers powerful, real-time digital assistant capabilities to help users improve productivity and work together more effectively. Zoom customers can expect to see AI Companion throughout the entire platform, from Meetings, Team Chat, Phone, Email, and Whiteboard, with additional features on the roadmap.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are transcending the hype in generative AI by delivering tangible products and disrupting the industry\u2019s pricing model, making it easy for businesses and people like you and me to leverage generative AI\u2019s full benefits in our day-to-day work,\u201d said Smita Hashim, chief product officer at Zoom. \u201cWe were founded on doing what\u2019s right for our customers, and we firmly believe that offering Zoom AI Companion at no additional cost to our paid Zoom user accounts delivers tremendous value as we all navigate the challenges facing us today. We are excited to see our customers and users start using AI Companion and about our strong roadmap for further innovation underpinned by a commitment to responsible AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Zoom is Putting Customer Privacy First with Generative AI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zoom\u2019s goal is to invest in AI-driven innovation that enhances user experience and productivity while prioritizing trust, safety, and privacy. In August, Zoom shared<\/a> that it does not use any customer audio, video, chat, screen-sharing, attachments, or other communications-like customer content (such as poll results, whiteboards, or reactions) to train Zoom\u2019s or third-party artificial intelligence models. Additionally, AI Companion is turned off by default \u2014 account owners and administrators control whether to enable these AI features for their accounts. Zoom provides admins and users control and visibility when AI features are being used or activated. By putting its customers\u2019 privacy needs first, Zoom is taking a leadership position, enabling its customers to use AI Companion and its capabilities with confidence.<\/p>\n
