Zoom Introduces AI Companion to Make Hybrid Collaboration Smarter and Seamless

Zoom  is transforming modern workplaces by making offices intelligent environments that adapt to how employees collaborate. Central to this evolution is Zoom Spaces, Zoom’s AI-first flexible workplace platform. It provides IT teams with centralized visibility and control, while giving employees intuitive, consistent, and cost-effective experiences, making hybrid collaboration seamless and efficient.

AI Features Make Work Smarter

New agentic AI features in Zoom Spaces are designed to make hybrid work more connected and productive. The AI Companion can proactively suggest available rooms for meetings, helping employees optimize their in-office time. Enhanced voice commands for Zoom Rooms (coming soon) allow hands-free control of room settings and in-meeting collaboration. These features build on Zoom Spaces’ existing tools to create intelligent workplaces where teams can focus on meaningful work instead of managing technology.

“AI has become a central part of our digital workday. Adding AI to physical spaces helps teams maximize office use, increase collaboration, and drive meaningful business impact.”

– Jeff Smith, Head of Product for Workplace AI, Meetings, and Spaces, Zoom

Simplifying Scheduling and Collaboration

Employees often struggle with double-booked rooms, inconsistent technology, and disconnected tools. Zoom Spaces solves these problems by combining workplace tools into a single, intuitive platform. Booking rooms and desks becomes effortless, meetings run more smoothly, and connecting with colleagues is easier.

• Smarter Scheduling: AI Companion detects overlapping or unreserved spaces and recommends the best meeting room, reducing wasted time.
• Hands-Free Productivity: Voice commands enable users to create Zoom Whiteboards or capture action items, while smart name tags improve in-meeting attribution. Features like captions, transcripts, and meeting summaries enhance inclusivity and efficiency.

Flexible Ecosystem for Every Workplace

Zoom’s open ecosystem gives organizations flexibility to design their ideal work environment. Zoom for Cisco Rooms allows the full Zoom Meetings experience on Cisco hardware for consistent, high-quality collaboration. Vizrt’s ISV Exchange partnership provides professional-grade production tools for virtual events and complex room setups, making hybrid meetings visually engaging and easier to manage.

Next-Level Meeting Experiences

Zoom continues to focus on quality and usability. Zoom Enhanced Media delivers premium audio and video quality, supporting high-frame-rate video, HD streams, and multiple simultaneous participant streams for smoother, lifelike interactions. A redesigned Workspace Reservation mobile app makes planning in-office schedules simpler, with AI-driven desk and room recommendations and faster navigation.

With these innovations, Zoom Spaces transforms the hybrid workplace, creating intelligent, AI-powered environments that enable teams to collaborate more efficiently, maximize in-person time, and focus on the work that matters.
