Zoom
Zoom is an AI-first work platform that combines meetings, team chat, phone, mail & calendar, scheduling, collaborative docs and whiteboards, video management, workspace tools, and customer experience products into a single ecosystem. It targets organizations of all sizes—from individuals, students and teachers to enterprises—seeking to connect people and automate knowledge work across virtual, hybrid, and in-person environments.
A central pillar of the platform is Zoom AI Companion, an integrated AI assistant designed to capture context from conversations and docs, surface insights, generate and refine content, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate with other business tools to boost productivity, decision clarity, and customer interactions. The platform also provides developer tools (APIs, SDKs, Webhooks) and an App Marketplace to extend capabilities.
