Google Meet推出新AI功能“take notes for me”，为Google Workspace特定客户提供服务，可总结会议内容并自动记录在Google Doc中，还能为迟到者提供错过内容的摘要，预计2024年9月10日完成全部推广，但准确性存疑。

🎈Google Meet的新AI功能“take notes for me”已开始向特定Google Workspace客户推出。该功能类似转录工具，但会总结会议内容，自动在Google Doc中做笔记，并在会议结束后将文件附在日历事件中，方便后续参考，且会发送给会议组织者及开启该功能的其他人。

💡若迟到，此功能会提供错过内容的摘要，方便快速跟上进度。同时，若使用Google Meet的录音和转录工具，相关文件链接也会在含会议笔记的Google Doc中提供。

🤔这一功能对处理语言和做笔记有困难的人是个良好的辅助工具，能让他们在会议中更专注。但AI可能会犯错，此功能的准确性有待观察，作者对此持怀疑但抱有希望的态度。

Google Meet’s newest AI-powered feature, “take notes for me,” has started rolling out today to Google Workspace customers with the Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education Premium, or AI Meetings & Messaging add-ons. It’s similar to Meet’s transcription tool, only instead of automatically transcribing what everyone says, it summarizes what everyone talked about. Google first announced this feature at its 2023 Cloud Next conference.

Unfortunately, it only supports spoken English right now, but it seems like it could make missing an important meeting less stressful; it automatically takes notes in a Google Doc and will attach that file to the calendar event after the meeting is over, so you can reference them later on. It will also send that Google Doc to the meeting organizer and anyone else who turned the feature on.

Running late to a meeting? Google says its new feature will also give you a summary of what you missed, so when you are able to join, you can quickly catch up — and no one should have to worry about repeating themselves. If you use Google Meet’s recordings and transcripts tool at the same time, links to those files will also be provided in the same Google Doc with the meeting notes.

This feature also sounds like a good accessibility tool for anyone (like me) who has trouble processing spoken language and taking notes at the same time. It might allow them to be more focused and fully present during meetings instead of having to ask someone to repeat what they said multiple times.

Google expects to complete the rollout to all Google Workspace customers by September 10th, 2024 — but there’s no guarantee how accurate Google Meet’s new feature will actually be.

AI can make a lot of mistakes; every time I’ve used Meet’s transcription tool, I have to go back through the automatically generated transcript to verify that it correctly captured the conversation. In my experience, that often entails listening to specific parts of the recording again and manually fixing the transcript. I’m skeptical but hopeful Google Meet will be a better note-taker than transcriber.
