Once the reigning champion of virtual meetings, Zoom is now stepping into a new spotlight, shedding "Video" from its name and embracing an AI-first identity.
Zoom Communications, as it’s now known, is pivoting to become a comprehensive work platform, aiming to keep up with tech titans like Google and Microsoft.
During the pandemic, Zoom became synonymous with video conferencing, as it helped businesses transition to remote work. But as workers return to the office and competitors beef up their offerings, Zoom is evolving. CEO Eric Yuan has unveiled a vision where Zoom isn’t just about video calls but about creating a seamless, hybrid work experience powered by artificial intelligence.
The company’s new direction includes tools like Zoom Team Chat and the Zoom Workplace suite, which boasts productivity apps and a business email client. These tools are designed to streamline communication and collaboration, making Zoom a one-stop shop for modern work solutions.

Yuan’s vision doesn’t stop there. He’s betting on AI to take over mundane tasks, like sorting emails and scheduling meetings, promising a future where we might enjoy a four-day workweek. The recently launched AI companion 2.0 is a step in this direction, offering enhanced summarising and assistance tools to create a "digital twin" that knows your business inside out.
So, will Zoom’s AI-powered transformation keep it in the race against Big Tech? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Zoom is no longer just about video; it’s about revolutionising the way we work. Stay tuned, because the future of work might just be Zoom-shaped!
