Your Agent Can Now Join Your Meeting Calls

[chrisfrompickaxe]

Your agent just learned to show up to meetings. The new Meeting Bot deployment sends your agent into your Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls, where it records the conversation, helps out in the meeting chat, and writes up a tidy report when the call ends.

What you get after every call

• A summary of the conversation
• Decisions made, plus action items with owners and due dates
• The full transcript
• Everything saved to your Documents, or straight into your agent’s knowledge base

Two ways to send it in

1. Join now: paste a meeting link and click Send bot now
2. Google Calendar: connect your calendar and add your agent to upcoming meetings in one click

It can talk, too

Turn on in-meeting chat and mention the bot (default @Agent) to get answers from your agent’s knowledge without leaving the call. Meeting notes work in around 40 languages, and takeaways can be saved to the memories of participants who have a workspace account, so your agent already knows everyone next time.

Getting started

Open an agent, click New Deployment, and choose Meeting bot. You control the bot’s name, languages, data retention, and where reports and recordings go. Good manners are built in: the bot always announces itself with a recording consent message when it joins.

Question: So for Teams, since there is no direct Microsoft 365 calendar integration, a new deployment would somehow need to be created for each meeting that you wish the agent to join? Am I understanding this correctly?

[nathaniel]

You wouldn’t have to create a new deployment. You can trigger the agent to join any meeting immediately with the join now functionality.

This is still an experimental feature, so Google Meet is the only officially supported calendar. If having a Pickaxe join your meeting interests you and you don’t use Google Meet, give us a bit more information on your use case!

[user14]

Yes, but an admin still has to go into the agent, click the New Deployment button, then do the join now. This is essentially the same as creating a new deployment for each meeting. This is a lot of steps to get the bot to join the meeting and cannot really be performed by just anyone on the team, but maybe I misunderstand how it actually works. Can an agent be ‘called’ to be added to meeting via API or something?

BTW, where is it documented that this is an ‘experimental’ feature? It does not say that anywhere in the interface or documentation that I can find.

I use Dialpad Meetings. Is it possible to make this work with that?
