Google has just released a useful Gemini feature, which you can try if you are a paying member of course. The company is now bringing “Take notes for me” for Gemini, which will be available in Google Meet for Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers, along with eligible Workspace business customers.
For personal users, the feature starts with Google AI Pro, which costs $19.99 per month in the US. In other words, Gemini can now take your Google Meet notes, provided you pay the minimum AI tax.
What the feature actually does
Once enabled in a meeting, Gemini works in the background to transcribe the conversation and create a summary with key action items. The notes are saved automatically as a Google Doc in your Drive, and after the call ends, Google sends an email recap with the summary and next steps.
Meeting summaries, action items, and even searchable notes sound really useful if you’ve ever been a part of a long meeting. Users can start note-taking during a call by clicking the pencil icon at the top of the Meet window. They can also turn it on for all calls through Meet settings under Meeting records. Google says all meeting participants will be notified when note-taking is enabled, which is important because nobody wants to discover afterward that Gemini was quietly transcribing the entire discussion.
Still behind a paywall
The company has been stuffing Gemini into Workspace for a while, and AI meeting tools are quickly becoming table stakes across productivity software. But the story is the same, and you still have to pay. Gemini’s “Take notes for me” is not a big update, but for Google Meet regulars can get a lot of mileage out of this one.
