Zoom has launched its next-generation AI Companion 3.0, which brings its AI assistant out of the app and into a dedicated web interface. It isn’t another meeting transcriber and summarizer anymore; Zoom’s latest AI can turn conversations into actionable tasks, create daily reflection reports, draft follow-up emails, and even create documents from meetings or notes.

While free Zoom users can use the new AI Companion 3.0 for three meetings every month (including features like AI note-taking, in-meeting questions, summary, and 20 questions via the side panel), the platform is offering the entire suite of AI features for $10 per month (in addition to the fee paid for Zoom Workplace).

This update marks a shift for Zoom from a simple video-conferencing platform to an AI-driven workspace. Adding agentic AI capabilities that can handle meetings, chats, documents, and connected apps helps the platform stand out.

Furthermore, the company is following a federal AI model approach, blending its own AI engines with popular models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other open-source tools. If you’re a hardcore Zoom user who spends a workday juggling between meetings, emails, to-do lists, documents, and other connected apps, Zoom’s new AI Companion 3.0 could help you offload a decent amount of tasks onto AI.

For instance, instead of manually summarizing meetings or writing follow-up messages, you can ask Zoom’s AI to do it for you.

This will help you free up time for higher-value tasks. In the near future, Zoom plans to expand AI Companion’s integrations. For example, the company could add Gmail and Outlook connectors to its platform, thereby refining its personal workflows and document-creation tools.

Over time, this could reshape how teams collaborate using Zoom, not just by hosting calls but by helping everyone get mundane tasks faster.

Shopping for back-to-school? I’d recommend these GaN chargers for saving space and packing more power

From a $9 spare to a $56 desk hub, these chargers cut down on cable clutter so that you can focus on your studies, not how cluttered your desk looks.

Best GaN chargers in 2026 for back to school shopping.

Between a phone, a laptop, a tablet, and perhaps a pair of wireless earbuds that require charging every day or every few days, most students are packing multiple chargers for move-in day. Those big, heavy bricks take up valuable backpack space that could otherwise be free for carrying more items.

However, GaN chargers fix that problem in two ways. First, they deliver the same amount of power from a much smaller body, thanks to gallium nitride transistors. Furthermore, if you're willing to spend a little more upfront, you can get a high-capacity, multi-device charger capable of powering your entire digital ecosystem from a single wall outlet, something that could be very useful for a dorm room.
