Ask Gemini in Google Meet is becoming more easily accessible

Ask Gemini in Google Meet is becoming more easily accessible on web

In September 2025, we launched Ask Gemini in Meet, which brings the power of Gemini into your organization’s meetings. Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re making the feature more easily accessible by moving the Ask Gemini prompt box into the bottom left-hand corner of the Google Meet web interface:

Previously, Ask Gemini in Meet was available only by hovering over the icon in the top right corner. This change makes it much easier to discover and use this feature in Google Meet calls. Other than the entrypoint change, there are no changes to the Ask Gemini in Meet functionality itself.

As a reminder, you use Ask Gemini in Meet to:

Get a quick brief on the goals and topics for the meeting you’re in
List key takeaways, decisions, and action items mentioned in the meeting
Catch up on what you missed if you joined late (as long as Take Notes for Me was enabled)

Google has updated the Google Meet web interface to make the “Ask Gemini” AI assistant much more accessible. Instead of being hidden in a top-right menu, the prompt box is now located directly in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, making it easier to discover and use during live calls. [1]

What This Update Means for You

Redesigned Interface: The prompt box is immediately visible in the bottom-left corner of the Google Meet web screen.
Seamless Access: You no longer need to hover over the icon in the top right-hand corner to open the Ask Gemini chat.
Unchanged Functionality: The core features of the tool remain exactly the same. [1]

Key Capabilities of Ask Gemini in Meet

Once enabled by your organization’s admin, you can privately ask the AI assistant to improve your meeting efficiency: [1, 2, 3]

Meeting Summaries: Get a quick brief on the goals and topics of an ongoing meeting.
Action Items: Generate a list of key takeaways, decisions, and action items discussed during the call.
Catch Up on Missed Info: Review what you missed if you joined late (requires the “Take Notes for Me” feature to be enabled by the host). [1]
