Grok Bot 1.0 leaves beta: Bots join Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls, answer in meeting chat and send summaries with action items, on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans

SpaceXSI released Grok Bot 1.0, and the official @bot account then announced that Bots can now join meetings: paste a Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams link, approve the card, and the Bot joins as a transcribing participant, takes notes, answers when addressed in the meeting chat, and sends a summary and action items after the call. Meetings are on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans with an Enterprise admin switch; the same release brings Team Bots into Microsoft Teams and adds shared connectors and review of team learnings.

Grok Bot 1.0 leaves beta: Bots join Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls, answer in meeting chat and send summaries with action items, on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans

Key Takeaways

  • To add it, paste the meeting link into the Bot's chat and ask it to join and take notes, approve the card, and the host admits it; a Bot that follows your calendar can join scheduled meetings on its own
  • During the call, address the Bot by name in the meeting chat; a Zoom private chat gets a private answer, it never shares your credentials, and if someone asks for something it held back it tells you who asked
  • Disable Interactivity keeps it listening without answering, and scheduled meetings can be cancelled or the Bot told to quit; afterwards it sends a summary and action items, plus a longer report page for Pages users
  • Enterprise admins switch Meetings on or off for everyone under Bot Capabilities in the team dashboard; when off, Bots cannot join or read meetings
  • The same release (changelog v1.0.1, November 11) brings Team Bots into Microsoft Teams, adds shared connectors and makes team learnings wait for owner approval; no transcription accuracy data was published

Anthropic Launches Claude Meetings Beta: Claude Joins Google Meet Calls as a Visible Participant, Builds Docs and Whiteboards Live and Writes the Notes, Rolling Out to Team and Enterprise

On November 12, Anthropic began rolling out Claude Meetings in beta. Teams can add Claude to a video call as a visible participant; people say "Claude" or type in the meeting chat, and by default it answers in writing and can use each person's connected tools with permission. It builds docs and whiteboards live during the call, and afterwards the notes, action items, transcript and artifacts sit on a meeting page in claude.ai. It launches on Google Meet only, for Team and Enterprise plans, and saves transcripts and summaries but not audio.

Anthropic Launches Claude Meetings Beta: Claude Joins Google Meet Calls as a Visible Participant, Builds Docs and Whiteboards Live and Writes the Notes, Rolling Out to Team and Enterprise

Key Takeaways

  • Launches on Google Meet only, with other video platforms "coming soon"; available on Team and Enterprise plans in Claude on the web and Claude Desktop
  • Claude builds docs, whiteboards and other artifacts live, and can stay in a call for up to 8 hours, warning before it leaves
  • During the beta, notes, transcripts and answers that do not use connected tools are free; docs and whiteboards made in a call are free through February 10, 2027, while answers using connected tools count toward plan usage
  • Privacy: it saves transcripts, summaries and screen descriptions but no audio; it is off by default on Enterprise and limited to internal meetings there, and ZDR, HIPAA-ready and CMEK organizations are excluded during the beta
  • Anthropic is working with Gong, Granola, Fireflies.ai, Otter and others so transcripts can later be sent to those tools
