The Verdict
Google Gemini is the clear choice for organizations already using Google Workspace. With native Meet integration, included pricing, and features like "Take Notes for Me" and "Ask Gemini in Meet," it offers seamless meeting documentation without additional tools or costs.
The real-time Q&A feature is particularly impressive, allowing participants to ask questions during calls and get instant AI-generated answers from meeting captions, Workspace files, and web searches.
However, if you use multiple video platforms (Zoom, Teams, Meet) or need advanced sales analytics, a dedicated third-party tool like Fireflies or Gong might be more suitable.
