Asking phone call questions with AI Companion
Users can open AI Companion during an active phone call and ask questions. AI Companion provides answers based on the live transcription of the call. Users can select from pre-built prompts or type custom questions. When initiating AI Companion, participants hear a disclaimer prompt and a visual indicator shows the call is being transcribed. Users can control the transcription and have separate options for call summaries and questions. The feature provides real-time assistance by leveraging AI to capture summaries and answer questions during ongoing calls, enhancing the call experience.
The AI Companion feature uses AI technology, which may include third-party models, to allow meeting participants to ask questions about the content of the meeting thus far. Preset prompts are provided, such as "Summarize this call so far.", "What are the action items?", "Who is responsible for the tasks mentioned?", and "Summarize the decisions made.", which can be useful for catching up when you join late or return after stepping away from the phone call. More specific custom questions are also possible. Phone calls, as well as questions and responses, are supported in more than 30 languages.
