It seems that from the proncuciation of this person's name and because their username combines their first and last name together, AI Companion has added a -le at the end of his name and uses she, her pronouns for him in the summary. Is there anyway to correct this in the meeting settings or to do a quick "find and replace" edit in Zoom docs?

Hi everyone,

I help an advisor during meetings, and he uses Zoom AI Companion for every zoom meeting. Normally the summary is delivered to him, but the last couple of times Zoom AI has just not summarized anything at all from the meeting. Does anyone know what the problem might be here?

Thanks,

As a long-time devotee of note-taking, I'm loving the AI Meeting Summaries feature, but the AI could be doing a much better job at writing. If it were a truly chat-based AI, I'd be able to simply tell it what to change, and hopefully it would learn from my preferences for future session – but I'm not seeing that capability. (Can Zoom confirm this?) Are there any hidden settings to tweak the AI's note-taking skills? A few pet peeves:

• Names are shown as last-name followed by a non-grammatical comma. Better guideline would be first+last name on first mention, first name only on subsequent mentions IF only one user has that first name – and lose the superfluous comma.
• Most calls include some pre-agenda social chatter that really doesn't need to be summarized for the record. Is the AI smart enough to understand what constitutes social chatter and stop summarizing it?
• Action Items are usually pretty good.
• The AI could learn from Strunk & White on crafting concise sentences. While generally grammatically correct, there are plenty of opportunities to cut words and overall length – boosting readability.
• The AI uses a lot of passive voice and fancy verb tense constructions when a simpler tense would do. We do attendees a favor when we summarize their colloquial language use in the form of clear, declarative sentences.
• I suspect the AI seeks to fill a certain target length and number of subheads, even on calls that don't contain a lot of substantive content. I've got a lot of meetings to support, so conciseness counts. (See prior reference to Strunk & White.) 

Is there a do-it-yourself way to address this kind of thing in settings, or in dialog with the AI?

Hello Zoom Team,

I would like to suggest a new feature to enhance meeting inclusivity and communication.

Many users have names that are frequently mispronounced, which can create awkward or uncomfortable moments and hinder effective communication. To address this, when a user creates a Zoom account or manages their profile, they could type a phonetic breakdown of their name or upload a recording of how it is pronounced. Then, during meetings, participants could simply hover over a person’s name in the participant list or chat to see the phonetic spelling or hear the audio pronunciation.

This feature would make it easy for everyone to learn and say names correctly without interrupting the meeting flow and would foster respectful communication, especially for users with unique or non-English names.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe it would be a valuable addition to the Zoom AI Companion or Zoom Meetings product areas.
