Google Meet will now take notes for you in meetings, with a new Gemini AI-powered feature rolling out.
Announced Tuesday in a blog post, the “Take notes for me” feature is available to “select” paying Google Workspace users. The feature is similar to competitor offerings like Zoom Notes or OtterPilot, and will use AI to generate a report after your meeting.
To enable the feature, users can select a pencil icon in the top right corner of the Google Meet screen, and all attendees will see the icon appear in blue to let them know it’s on — plus, you’ll be able to click on the icon to see the meeting notes in real time.

Gmail can now literally ‘polish’ that turd of an email draft
Following the end of the meeting, a document will be attached to the Google Calendar event and the meeting admin will get emailed a link to it (it’ll be also saved in the organiser’s Drive). If anyone turns on meeting recording or transcription during the same meeting, there’ll be a link to this in the document.
According to Google, meetings must be conducted in spoken English for the “Take notes for me” feature to work.
