Show colleagues how much you care by sending an AI avatar to your Google Meet call
MeetTwins, an AI assistant being developed by Indian developer Aditya Shinde, is designed to join Google Meet calls on a user’s behalf and share information the user has approved. The tool is recruiting beta users; its proposed uses include routine status updates and check-ins, but the article questions whether sending a bot could make colleagues or customers feel ignored.
Before a call, the operator provides the bot with answers, documents and context, and can mark topics as off limits. Shinde says it will not improvise beyond that brief: unanswered questions are referred to the operator, who receives an email summary and a list of open items after the call. Participants can make it leave by typing “/stop”; the bot is also meant to identify itself as AI, though the article notes that this may not reassure everyone.
- MeetTwins is being developed to attend Google Meet calls for users.
- It shares only information approved in advance and flags unanswered questions.
- Its convenience may come at the cost of colleagues feeling neglected.
