Zoom expands enterprise agentic AI platform to orchestrate workflows across collaboration and customer experience
Zoom Communications, Inc. today announced the expansion of its enterprise agentic AI platform, introducing new workflow orchestration capabilities across Zoom Workplace, Zoom Phone, and Zoom CX. The updates extend Zoom’s system of action for modern work, enabling organizations to automate tasks, trigger cross-system workflows, and turn meetings, calls, and customer interactions into completed business outcomes. As enterprises scale artificial intelligence initiatives, many remain limited to AI assistants that summarize conversations but rely on manual follow-through across disconnected systems. Moreover, while collaboration tools capture dialogue and systems of record store data, execution often remains fragmented. Zoom’s agentic AI platform is designed to close this gap by embedding workflow automation directly into meetings, calls, chat, and contact center interactions so conversations automatically trigger action across enterprise systems. “The next phase of enterprise AI will be defined by the ability to move from conversation to action,” said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of Product & Engineering at Zoom. “Zoom’s agentic AI platform is designed to orchestrate action across systems, turning every meeting, call, and customer interaction into a trigger for workflow automation.” Zoom enterprise agentic AI 3.0 platform: Key enhancements The enhancements announced today include: AI Companion: Premium AI built for businesses The Zoom AI Companion offering is significantly expanding, with AI Companion 3.0 rolling out across the Zoom Workplace app, Zoom Business Services, and Workvivo, to accelerate conversation-to-completion workflows via the 3.0 AI tech stack. Previously available only in a web browser, this powerful upgrade leverages Zoom’s expanded federated AI platform to securely connect conversations, enterprise data, and apps, and drive meaningful outcomes for organizations. The platform’s success is highlighted by the rapid growth of AI Companion Monthly Active Users, having more than tripled year-over-year in Q4 FY26. Zoom also introduced new capabilities for its Custom AI Companion add-on, empowering organizations to build custom AI agents that act on their behalf — streamlining activities that include retrieving insights, automating tasks, and orchestrating workflows across third-party systems such as Salesforce, Slack, and ServiceNow. New Custom AI Companion capabilities include: Teams will be able to easily convert meeting conversations and insights into structured documents, data analysis, and presentation content with the expansion of new AI canvases, Zoom AI Docs, AI Sheets, and AI Slides, which will work seamlessly within Zoom Meetings for real-time co-creation without switching tools. Zoom also announced Zoom AI Services, a new suite of enterprise‑grade AI APIs for speech, language, reasoning, and more. These services enable developers to leverage the same transcription, translation, summarization, deep reasoning, and image‑processing technologies that power Zoom’s own products. Zoom Workplace: Simplify and unify the workday The next generation of Zoom Workplace, an all-in-one work platform, introduces agentic AI and a simplified interface. New features and UX updates include: Zoom Phone: Transform conversations into action To enhance its offering for Zoom Phone, which supports more than 10 million seats globally, Zoom announced new capabilities that prioritize a mobile-first experience and use AI to deliver better customer engagements and automate post-call follow-ups: As a result, Zoom Phone now delivers intelligent call summaries, automated follow-ups, and real-time insights across devices. Zoom CX and Revenue Workflows: AI-Powered Contact Center and Sales Automation Zoom CX and Zoom Revenue Accelerator (ZRA) will soon introduce expanded agentic automation for contact center and revenue workflows, including Zoom Virtual Agent 3.0, to improve resolution speed and customer outcomes. Zoom Customer Experience continues to see accelerating, high-double-digit growth, with paid AI included in each of Zoom’s top ten CX deals this past quarter and growing competitive displacement momentum.
