Configuring additional data sources for AI Companion

The AI Companion panel in Zoom Workplace provides users with a personal assistant within the Zoom Workplace desktop app, designed to help users get more done and make their workdays more manageable. Users can access the AI Companion panel in the Zoom Workplace app, allowing them to get assistance from AI Companion based on the configured data sources. By default, AI Companion will use available Zoom data sources (meeting transcripts, Zoom Team Chat messages, etc.) to generate responses. For transcripts generated by Zoom to be accessible by AI Companion after a Meeting ends, your account must enable Allow meeting hosts to retain and access meeting transcripts.

Additional third-party data sources including calendar events, emails, and documents, can be used as sources for AI Companion. Zoom AI Companion currently supports the use of specific data from Microsoft and/or Google to provide additional context to respond to user prompts. When enabled by account admins and connected by users, content will be indexed and stored by Zoom, which allows AI Companion to find relevant content when answering user prompts. Zoom will store content that has been viewed or edited within the last 30 days for authenticated users, so only recent content is used when providing responses.
