Why should I use AI Companion instead of other AI tools, such as OtterAI?
AI Companion is officially supported by the Office of Information Technology. AI Companion meets all standards for data privacy and security. It does not use any user data for training or machine learning improvements and it is compliant with FERPA regulations and the protection of sensitive student information. OtterAI is currently being investigated for privacy and safety concerns.
How do I find my meeting summary?
The summaries of these meetings created by the Zoom AI Companion will not be shared automatically, and users will need to find the summary in their Zoom web portal for further review.
Can I ask AI Companion questions about the meeting in progress?
We will be locking the setting to ask the Zoom AI Companion questions about the meeting in progress at an institutional level as we learn more about the feature and its usage.
Can I use AI Whiteboard?
The AI Whiteboard feature will be turned on by default, allowing users to generate live and interactive whiteboards of the current meeting that can be retrieved, edited and worked in after the meeting has ended.
