Google Gemini adds Meet note‑taking for AI Pro and Ultra users

Google’s Gemini AI is now able to record and summarize Google Meet calls for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, a feature that promises to free participants from manual note‑taking and automatically stores the output in Drive [2].

Gemini’s new Meet capability

The note‑taking tool works on both web and mobile Meet sessions, transcribing the conversation in real time, generating a summary with key action items, and saving the result to a Google Doc in the user’s Drive. Hosts must enable the feature, and all participants receive a notification when it is active, ensuring transparency about AI‑generated content [3]. The service is limited to meetings hosted by eligible users, meaning only those with an AI Pro or Ultra subscription—or an eligible Workspace Business plan—can turn it on.

Pricing context and broader AI rollout

Google discontinued the standalone Gemini Business ($20/user/mo) and Gemini Enterprise ($30/user/mo) add‑ons in March 2025, folding Gemini into Workspace Business Standard, Plus, and Enterprise tiers [1]. The base price for these plans rose roughly 17‑22 % to accommodate the bundled AI, but the “Take notes for me” feature does not require the optional $20 AI Expanded Access add‑on, which is aimed at power users needing higher usage limits [1]. This means most organizations can access the new Meet functionality at no additional cost beyond their existing Workspace subscription.

Competitive implications

By embedding AI‑driven note‑taking directly into Meet, Google narrows the functional gap with competitors such as Microsoft Teams, which already offers AI‑assisted meeting recaps via Copilot. The move also reinforces Google’s strategy to integrate Gemini across its productivity suite, a trend that could pressure rivals to accelerate similar AI features in their collaboration tools.

What to watch

• Rollout breadth – Monitoring adoption rates across languages and regions will indicate how quickly the feature gains traction.
• AI Expanded Access uptake – If usage caps are reached, Google may see increased sales of the $20 AI Expanded Access add‑on.
• Competitive responses – Watch for announcements from Microsoft, Zoom, or other collaboration platforms introducing comparable AI note‑taking capabilities.

The addition of automated meeting notes marks a tangible step in Google’s effort to make Gemini a core productivity assistant, but its real impact will depend on user adoption and whether rivals accelerate their own AI integrations.
