Zoom introduces an AI-powered office suite, says AI avatars for meetings arrive this month

Zoom is launching AI-powered avatars (realistic digital representations that can mimic a user's appearance and movements) that can represent users in meetings, along with new AI tools like document and presentation apps, an AI agent builder for non-technical users, and a deepfake detection technology (software that identifies when audio or video has been artificially manipulated or impersonated) to alert meeting participants of possible impersonation. The company is also expanding its AI Companion assistant across desktop and other products, and introducing custom AI agents that users can control through natural language prompts (instructions written in everyday English rather than code).
