At the annual Zoomtopia event, Zoom has introduced a range of innovative features, including Zoom Docs, an AI-driven workspace for enhanced collaboration, and upgrades to the Zoom AI Companion. These innovations are geared towards streamlining the workday, supporting hybrid work, and boosting employee engagement.

Zoom Docs At the heart of these innovations is Zoom Docs, a futuristic collaboration tool built entirely on AI technology. Not only does this new platform integrate seamlessly with Zoom and various third-party apps, but it also

provides a flexible workspace for creating, managing projects, and staying organised. From populating documents with content from Zoom Meetings to generating content with the Zoom AI Companion, the tool is designed to streamline tasks and enhance productivity. These features accompany traditional document capabilities, wikis, and a drag-and-drop interface for tables, charts, and images. Zoom’s New Assistant This AI Companion only allows users to catch up on meetings, summarise lengthy chat threads, compose emails in Zoom Mail, and now helps generate ideas on a digital whiteboard. On top of this, Zoom added Meeting and Team Chat summarisation capabilities. Enhancing Employee Engagement and Hybrid Work Zoom also announced several platform innovations aimed at improving employee engagement and facilitating hybrid work. One such innovation, Workvivo, an employee engagement and communications solution acquired by Zoom earlier this year, will soon be accessible directly from the Zoom desktop client. New features like Workspace Reservation and My Office View in Huddles, were also announced. These features aim to make the transition between working remotely and in the office smoother and more efficient.
