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.

For a recurring meeting, I am the meeting host and I have an alternative host. For today's meeting, I was unable to join, so my alternative host lead the meeting. They recorded and clicked on the "Start Summary" button.

After the meeting, I received the recording via email, but I have not received the "Meeting Summary with AI Companion" email (I checked my settings and the summary is set to only send it to me). The summary is not showing up in my list of Meeting Summaries on my Zoom web portal either.

Where can I find the Meeting Summary if it's not emailed or in my Meeting Summaries list? Does "Meeting Summary with AI Companion" only work if the meeting host starts it (vs. an alternative host)?

I love the companion feature and use it often with most of the meetings. Before the update, I was able to pause it during meetings when private or irrelevant information was being discussed and start it once we arrived at the intention for the call. Please bring that option back. It made such a difference to have the option to "filter" out the personal from the business. 

Thank you 

Incredibly odd summary, where the AI notes referred to us throughout as the name of one of our main competitors.  How would this even happen?
