“Please speak a little slower”… Zoom unveils video conferencing assistant agent

(San Francisco = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kwon Young-jeon = "I am speaking too fast right now, so please speak a little slower."

In the future, if you become nervous and speak quickly during a video conference, you will be able to hear real-time advice like this from an artificial intelligence (AI) agent.

Video conferencing platform 'Zoom' announced that it will introduce 'Live Meeting Agent' at the annual event 'Zoomtopia 2026' held on the 20th (local time).

The live meeting agent acts like a private panel that only the user can see, and provides real-time guidance if the user speaks too fast or deviates from the topic of conversation.

When a sudden question arises, we search internal data to find an answer.

In meetings with attendees speaking various languages, AI voice replication technology was combined to maintain the user's voice while transmitting interpreted voices in other languages.

Additionally, even if the user's gaze slightly deviates from the camera, AI naturally corrects the gaze as if looking directly at the camera within a 17-degree range.

In terms of security, a 'deepfake risk detection' solution has been added to respond to the risk of manipulation due to the advancement of AI technology.

This is a paid function that detects and warns of abnormal signs, such as whether the video or audio transmitted on the screen during a meeting has been manipulated or synthesized using deepfake technology.

We have strengthened the 'My Notes' function, which keeps track of meeting contents even if you leave the meeting midway or are unable to attend, to provide customized meeting minutes and summaries.

In addition, we decided to open a Model Context Rule (MCP) server that can be linked with Antropic's 'Claude' and OpenAI's 'ChatGPT' to support the ability to schedule meetings or summarize and search meeting minutes in an external AI environment without directly accessing Zoom.

Russell Dicker, Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Zoom, said, "The Gallup survey revealed that users do not want new AI tools, but rather to have their work completed smoothly," adding, "So we integrated AI into the system, including customers' daily meetings, conversations, and marketing events."
