An AI assistant can join your video calls: set a rule
Published Nov 13, 2026 · Last checked Nov 13, 2026 · Last changed Nov 13, 2026An AI assistant can now join a video meeting and write the notes and the tasks. A law firm can use it for internal meetings today. Set one rule first: who may start it, and which meetings.
- Verdict
- WATCH
- For
- All practice areas. Firms on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan. Owner, office manager.
- Cost and time
- No new price was announced. Reworked reports that the new tools count against the plan's existing usage limits. About one hour to test and to write the rule.
Why
Anthropic announced Claude Meetings on Nov 10, 2026. TechCrunch reports it is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and works in Google Meet. Claude joins the call as a visible participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat. After the call, the notes and action items are in the firm's Claude account. It does not join calls with outside guests unless an admin allows it. The report does not say how long the notes are kept.
What to do
- Find out which Claude plan the firm has, and who the admin is.
- Leave the setting for outside guests off.
- Test the assistant in one internal meeting with no client facts, such as a marketing meeting.
- Read the notes it wrote. Compare names, numbers and tasks with what people said.
- Ask the vendor in writing where meeting notes are stored, for how long, and who can open them.
- Write the rule into the firm's AI policy: which meetings, who may start it, and who reads the notes.
What data may go in
For now: internal meetings with no client facts. Client confidential and privileged talk only after a lawyer has read the terms and the vendor's written answers.
Who checks the output
The person who led the meeting reads the notes the same day and corrects them.
The rule to check
ABA Formal Opinion 512 covers AI tools and client information. A lawyer must understand how a tool handles that information before using it on client matters. Rules on recording a call and telling the other person differ by state. Check both before the assistant joins a call with a client.
What can go wrong
An AI note can be wrong. The person who led the meeting corrects it the same day, before it goes into a file. The assistant is in beta, so some accounts do not show it yet.
