As previewed in April, Google Meet is rolling out an “Ask Gemini” capability for Workspace users. It’s framed as a “personal in-meeting advisor.”
This Ask Gemini side panel in Google Meet can:
- Summarize ongoing discussions, or get a recap of what someone said
- Improve meeting outcomes by identifying key takeaways, decisions, and action items
- Catch up on what you missed if you joined late (if Take Notes for Me was enabled)
Gemini answers questions by “referring to meeting captions, Google Workspace resources (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, etc.) that the user has permission to view, and content from Google search and public websites.”
Like other instances of Gemini, responses are private to you and not shared with anyone else on the call. On the privacy front, “no captions or other meeting data will be stored after the meeting.”
Using Ask Gemini does not create a record of any kind after the meeting ends.
Google will disclose to meeting participants that Ask Gemini is enabled, while hosts can disable it.
Available for Google Meet on desktop web, English is supported today with more languages coming. It’s coming first to Enterprise Plus, Enterprise (Standard), Business Plus, and Business Standard, with full availability in the coming weeks.
In Q1 2026, Google will make it available to Workspace Business Starter, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus customers.
