100-word summary
Zoom announced it will let you build AI agents without coding, connecting them to Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Google Drive to automate what happens after the call ends. The shift matters because the platform stops being a passive recorder and starts doing the grunt work: a sales meeting could trigger CRM updates, ticket creation, and follow-up emails without anyone clicking through tabs. Zoom is also adding deepfake detection to flag suspicious attendees and launching AI Docs, AI Sheets, and AI Slides that teams can edit together during meetings. Monthly users of its AI assistant tripled year-over-year, suggesting people actually want their video calls to do more than just... be video calls.
