Google Meet’s Gemini-powered note-taking feature is getting a bit more useful for Workspace teams. It will now generate a checklist of suggested next steps at the end of your meetings, going as far as assigning due dates and attaching a primary stakeholder to the task.
The note-taking feature was initially launched in August last year. I’ve played around a bit with it here at The Verge since then, and thus far, it hasn’t produced totally disastrous results.
Gemini’s voice-to-text transcription can accurately separate speakers and produce a mostly accurate account of everything discussed, though it’s not always perfect. It summarizes the result with a surprisingly coherent and cohesive structure in a Google Doc that’s automatically shared to participants after the meeting’s conclusion.
This new action items feature will start rolling out today, though Google says that it will be rolling out at “a much slower pace than usual as we carefully monitor performance and quality.”
