Operant AI Uncovers Stealth Exploit Targeting MCP Connected AI Assistants

Operant AI Uncovers Stealth Exploit Targeting MCP Connected AI Assistants
  1. A critical security flaw in MCP (Model Context Protocol) enables invisible data theft across all major AI and Agentic platforms
  2. New attack class exploits trusted AI agents to silently exfiltrate critical PII, including SSNs, medical records, and financial data. 
  3. The discovery of Shadow Escape comes amid Cybersecurity Awareness Month, underscoring the urgent need for AI-native defense mechanisms as enterprises accelerate adoption of agentic AI frameworks.
Operant AI, the world’s only Runtime AI Defense Platform, today disclosed the discovery of Shadow Escape, a powerful zero-click attack that exploits Model Context Protocol (MCP) and connected AI agents. The exploit enables data exfiltration via popular AI agents and assistants, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other LLM-powered agents.

As enterprises rapidly adopt agentic AI through MCP servers and MCP-based integrations to connect large language models (LLMs) to internal tools, APIs, and databases, Shadow Escape demonstrates a new class of threats that operate entirely inside the firewall and within authorized identity boundaries, making them invisible to conventional cybersecurity monitoring.

The Shadow Escape attack demonstrates the absolute criticality of securing MCP and agentic identities. Operant AI's ability to detect and block these types of attacks in real-time and redact critical data before it crosses unknown and unwanted boundaries is pivotal to operationalizing MCP in any environment, especially in industries that have to follow the highest security standards, said Donna Dodson, the former Chief of Cybersecurity at NIST.

According to McKinsey’s 2025 Technology Trends Outlook, nearly 80% of enterprises are now using generative or agentic AI assistants for critical business functions—many of which depend on MCP for secure access management and workflow automation. Operant AI’s research estimates that trillions of private records may be at risk of exposure through such zero-click MCP-based data exfiltration chains.

Operant AI has formally reported this security issue to OpenAI and initiated the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) designation process. Critically, this is not a vulnerability specific to any individual LLM or Agent provider; it represents a fundamentally new attack path that affects any AI agent or AI application that utilizes MCP.

The Attack Chain

Unlike traditional prompt injection or data leaks, this attack doesn’t need user error, phishing, or malicious browser extensions. Instead, it leverages the trust already granted to AI agents and AI assistants through legitimate MCP connections.

The attack unfolds in three stages:
  1. Infiltration: Malicious instructions are embedded invisibly in documents uploaded to AI agents—documents that appear completely legitimate and pass standard security scans. 
  2. Discovery: AI agents proactively discover and surface sensitive data across connected databases without explicit user requests, leveraging MCP's powerful cross-system access capabilities. 
  3. Exfiltration: Hidden directives instruct the AI agent to transmit entire datasets to external endpoints, disguised as routine performance tracking or analytics uploads
The attack first enables the AI agent to access and display critical PII data to any human interacting with it, violating basic data governance standards, including HIPAA and PCI compliance. It then uses an invisible zero-click instruction to extract that PII, including Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, and other personally identifiable information (PII) to the dark web, all without IT or standard security measures blocking or detecting the breach. Using the Shadow Escape attack path, malicious entities are able to gain everything needed to perpetrate identity theft, Medicare fraud, financial fraud, and more, all without users or IT organizations realizing the exfiltration is happening.

Shadow Escape Is Not Limited to One AI Provider or Platform

Shadow Escape affects any organization using MCP-enabled AI agents or MCP-connected AI assistants, including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Custom AI agents built on various LLM backends, Open-source alternatives like Llama-based assistants, and Industry-specific AI copilots across healthcare, finance, and customer service. The common thread isn't the specific AI Agent—it's the Model Context Protocol that grants these agents unprecedented access to organizational systems.

Beyond Traditional Security

"While MCP has become a foundational protocol enabling powerful AI integrations, our research reveals that standard MCP configurations create unprecedented attack surfaces that operate beyond the reach of traditional security controls," said Vrajesh Bhavsar, CEO and co-founder of Operant AI. "Shadow Escape demonstrates how AI agents can be weaponized through 0-click attacks that are invisible to both users and conventional security methods. The attack happens entirely within authenticated sessions, using legitimate credentials, making the blast radius potentially catastrophic given the scale and speed at which agents can operate."

Shadow Escape can impact many highly sensitive, privacy-regulated, and commonly used AI/Human interactions, including medical assistants using AI to access patient records, insurance databases, or treatment protocols or banking representatives using AI copilots connected to transaction systems, credit databases, or fraud detection monitoring systems.

Operant AI's Security Research team recommends organizations take immediate action to assess and secure their MCP deployments by conducting comprehensive audits of all AI agents and AI assistants with MCP access to organizational systems, databases, and APIs; implementing runtime AI defense guardrails capable of detecting and blocking zero-click data exfiltration attempts; establishing MCP trust zones with explicit allow-listing of authorized servers and real-time blocking of untrusted connections; deploying sensitive data flow monitoring with in-line auto-redaction capabilities for PII, PHI, and financial information; and reviewing and governing MCP tools access following least-privilege principles.

India’s Clodura.AI Debuts GenAI GTM Platform to Streamline Sales Tech for Global Enterprises

India’s Clodura.AI Debuts GenAI GTM Platform to Streamline Sales Tech for Global Enterprises

Clodura.AI, an Indian GenAI SaaS company, has launched what it calls the country’s first GenAI-powered Go-to-Market (GTM) platform. Built in India and designed for global markets, the platform brings together enrichment, verification, buyer intelligence, intent signals, AI-led outreach, and calling into a single interface, aimed at reducing complexity and costs for sales teams.

Revenue and GTM teams worldwide are plagued by a universal pain: excessive, fragmented stacks of sales technology. Sales reps juggle multiple data sources, verifiers, engagement tools, and dialers, wasting time, inflating budgets, and lowering productivity. For years, the playbook has been predictable. Teams buy a single-database vendor like ZoomInfo or Apollo.io, then quickly realize one source is not enough. They add a verifier, add an outreach platform like Outreach, a call dialer and a Call Analysis tools such as Gong. Suddenly, the tech stack becomes six vendors deep, budgets spiral, and SDRs keep chasing unverified leads.

Sales professionals often rely on multiple vendors for databases, verification, engagement, and dialers. This fragmented approach increases costs, slows outreach, and adds layers of inefficiency. Clodura.AI’s unified platform seeks to address this challenge by offering an integrated system that connects with 50+ email and 20+ phone providers in real time, ensuring verified and accurate contacts.

AI agents built into the platform automate routine tasks such as drafting emails, sequencing campaigns, and follow-ups, freeing up sales representatives to focus on conversations that move deals forward.

Large enterprises and multinationals like Wipro, Reliance, PhonePe, ITC, Bosch, EY, Naukri, and Times Group have consolidated their GTM stacks with Clodura.AI, reporting stronger contact accuracy, improved call connect rates, speedier campaigns, and lower GTM costs.

Fragmented GTM stacks slow growth, increase costs, and frustrate teams,” said Kapil Khangaonkar, Founder & CEO of Clodura.AI.We solve this by uniting data, verification, intelligence, engagement, and closure in one Indian-built platform engineered for global scale. Clodura empowers teams to work smarter, faster, and with predictable outcomes.

Abhay Nawathey, CTO of Clodura.AI, added: “Data ages, verification cannot be static, and reps should not waste hours on busywork. Our AI platform seamlessly integrates multiple providers and automates follow-up sequences to create productive conversations.”

Clodura.AI exemplifies India’s AI leadership by solving a universal GTM pain point with innovation that scales globally”, said Somshubhro Pal Choudhury, Co-Founder & Partner at Bharat Innovation Fund.

India’s SaaS ecosystem has been steadily moving beyond its outsourcing legacy to building global products. Clodura.AI’s platform highlights this shift, positioning Indian-built technology as a credible alternative in the global GTM software space.

TraceX Launches AI Tool to Streamline EU Deforestation Regulation Compliance for AgriFood Exporters

TraceX Launches AI Tool to Streamline EU Deforestation Regulation Compliance for AgriFood Exporters

TraceX Technologies, an AgriFood and ClimateTech startup, has launched an Agentic AI Tool to automate and simplify end-to-end compliance with EU’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) that comes into effect from December 2025.

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) mandates that any product exported to the EU should be legally sourced and deforestation-free. Non EU Exporters and EU Importers of commodities such as coffee, cocoa, palm oil, soy, wood and wood based products, rubber and cattle products, have to submit traceability proofs, verified plot-level geolocation data, Due Diligence Statement (DDS), and digital records for audits. Failing to do so can lead to shipment rejections, financial penalties of up to 4% of annual turnover in the EU and reputational damage.

A report by Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) indicates that Indian exports worth USD 1.3 billion are likely to be impacted due to the new regulations. Among the most affected are agriculture products such as coffee, oil cake, and forest-derived products that include paper, wood furniture, leather hides, etc. Many exporters, particularly small and medium sized companies, are struggling with high compliance costs, challenges in providing traceability proofs, and supply chain complexities.

The existing process for the submission of the Due Diligence Statement (DDS) is done through manual procedures that require field agents, spreadsheet entries and time-intensive workflows that are prone to errors. TraceX’s agentic AI tool automates these processes through interventions such as auto-parsing of supplier emails and documents for KYC, AI-validated geolocation, risk assessment via global earth observation data sets flagging high-risk suppliers or non-compliant plots before shipment, integration with the existing legacy applications, auto-generated Due Diligence Statements (DDS) that match EU TRACES formats, and Real time EU regulatory and technical updates. It cuts down DDS preparation time by up to 80%.

Commenting on the new tool, Srivatsa Sreenivasarao, Founder and CEO, TraceX, said, “While some of this functionality existed in our legacy platform, we have further added more capabilities to it by integrating advanced AI technologies to make the experience more seamless and efficient for non-EU exporters and EU Importers. The EU Deforestation Regulation presents significant economic implications for Indian exporters due to complex compliance requirements that currently need manual intervention. Managing this across fragmented, smallholder-heavy supply chains often results in data silos, manual bottlenecks, inconsistent assessments, and missed regulatory updates. Our Agentic AI Tool automates all the processes, cuts down on turnaround time, improves accuracy and reduces compliance costs

Metaforms Lands $9 Mn to Supercharge AI Agents for Global Market Research Giants

Metaforms Lands $9 Mn to Supercharge AI Agents for Global Market Research Giants
  • Plans to triple Indian workforce with new funding and invest in AI research.
The market research boom is creating an unexpected casualty: the agencies themselves. In an industry where clients expect faster turnarounds, competitive pricing, and diverse capabilities, agencies are turning down work – not for lack of interest, but because outdated operational systems keep them from meeting client expectations.

Metaforms, a startup born from this bottleneck, is helping research teams scale without burning out. Today, the company announces a $9 million Series A to expand its AI infrastructure platform and accelerate adoption across the $130 billion global market research industry.

The round was led by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India), with participation from Nexus Venture Partners and Together Fund.

The funding will primarily fuel Metaforms' aggressive hiring plans in India, with the company set to triple its Bengaluru-based engineering and AI research teams, expand into new workflows like report generation and voice-based research, and deepen integrations with tools like Decipher, SPSS, and Confirmit.

"We're thrilled to partner with Akshat and Arjun as they reimagine what a market research agency could look like in an AI-first world. Metaforms is scaling rapidly by enabling some of the largest research agencies globally to automate workflows such as survey programming and data processing through their suite of AI agents," said Shailendra Singh, MD, Peak XV Partners.

Founded in 2022 by Akshat Tyagi and Arjun S, Metaforms addresses a critical bottleneck in the global market research industry. When multinational companies like Unilever, Procter & Gamble, or Tata need to understand consumer preferences across markets, research agencies often struggle with manual, time-intensive processes that limit their capacity to serve clients.

The company's AI agents automate survey programming, data processing, and vendor coordination, enabling agencies to handle exponentially more projects while maintaining quality.

Since launching commercially just six months ago, Metaforms has signed four of the world's top twenty research agencies, including Strat7, and serves Fortune 500 companies.

The platform now processes over 1,000 surveys per month and has achieved a 100% customer expansion rate – every client that started with one AI agent has adopted additional capabilities.

This traction has caught investor attention across the ecosystem. "They're solving a major pain point for the entire industry. That focus and ability to deeply understand customer needs and address that using generative AI is the hallmark of the Metaforms team. We are thrilled to back Akshat and Arjun in their journey of building a remarkable company!" said Jishnu Bhattacharjee, Managing Director, Nexus Venture Partners.

"Metaforms is a breakout example of the India-to-global play in AI," said Manav Garg, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Together Fund. "They're not just automating tasks — they're rebuilding research infrastructure for the modern era."

The impact extends beyond operational efficiency. By compressing turnaround times and reducing costs, Metaforms enables agencies to serve clients they would otherwise turn away, from early-stage startups testing their first ideas to global brands launching multi-country trackers.

Looking ahead, Metaforms plans to continue expanding the breadth of its agent capabilities. Voice research, automated report generation, and expanded language support are all on the roadmap, with the long-term vision to process over 100,000 surveys per year.

"When research agencies grow, better business decisions get made," said Akshat Tyagi, co-founder and CEO of Metaforms. "We're not here to replace the humans in the loop. We're here to give them leverage."

Olto Raises $5.1 Mn Co-Led By Nexus Venture Partners and The General Partnership

Olto Raises $5.1 Mn Co-Led By Nexus Venture Partners and The General Partnership

Olto, the AI demo engineer transforming how B2B teams demo and sell software, has raised $5.1 million in pre-seed funding. The round was co-led by Nexus Venture Partners and The General Partnership, with participation from Afore Capital, Recall Capital, Ligature, FirstHand and notable founders and executives.

Olto transforms every buyer interaction, whether a live demo call, an outbound touch, or an inbound visit, into a high-converting product experience by generating context-aware demo environments and interactive product tours for every opportunity in the CRM. Designed for the entire GTM motion, Olto operates as an always-on expert AI demo engineer.

The company was founded by seasoned Amazon executives Kintan Brahmbhatt and Jean-Baptiste Chaput, with veteran Amazon engineer Pranav Midha joining as founding engineer. Brahmbhatt co-founded Amazon Music, where he led its product team, and Amazon’s podcasting business, which he ran as general manager. He also co-invented Prime Video's X-Ray feature – the contextual information layer that transformed how millions of consumers discover and experience content.

At Amazon, we pioneered just-in-time personalization to change the way consumers engage with media,” said Kintan Brahmbhatt, CEO and co-founder of Olto.With Olto, we’re bringing that same magic to B2B software. Every seller gets an expert demo engineer that’s always on, always current, and always tailored to the buyer.”

B2B buyers increasingly expect consumer-grade, personalized experiences, while revenue leaders face mounting pressure to accelerate sales cycles and do more with smaller teams. Traditional product demos remain heavily manual, inconsistent, and dependent on scarce solutions engineering resources, creating bottlenecks that slow deal velocity. 

To solve this challenge, Olto’s AI-native platform integrates directly with a company’s CRM and live product, overlaying intelligent, prospect-specific data across real interfaces. Behind the scenes, Olto combines a custom entity resolution engine and a flexible orchestration layer that leverages multiple LLMs to personalize demos on the fly. It adapts seamlessly to ongoing changes to the underlying product, eliminating the delays and maintenance burden of legacy demo tools.

"AI is upending traditional approaches to B2B sales," said Abhishek Sharma, managing director at Nexus Venture Partners. "Sales teams spend countless hours on manual demo preparation, only to deliver generic experiences that don't resonate with prospects. Olto's AI-first approach eliminates this time drain and creates genuinely targeted experiences that lead to faster sales cycles. Kintan and JB’s unique background in building delightful ML-powered products at Amazon gives them a compelling advantage in solving this problem."

"What excited us about Olto is how naturally Kintan and JB are applying their consumer product instincts to one of the biggest bottlenecks in enterprise software sales–demo delivery," said Phin Barnes, co-founder at The General Partnership. "They've built an AI-native system that actually enhances how buyers experience a product beyond simply automating workflows.”

About Olto

Olto’s AI demo engineer agent enables sales, solutions, and marketing teams to deliver personalized demos that communicate the product’s highest and most relevant value to each buyer. Founded by veteran Amazon executives, Olto helps revenue teams accelerate sales cycles, reduce demo preparation time by up to 80%, and deliver consistent, tailor-made experiences that drive higher conversion rates. Headquartered in San Francisco, Olto is trusted by leading sales organizations at companies like Demandbase, Eightfold.ai, Qventus, and Jiminny. Learn more at olto.com.

These agents are not prompted, they’re proactive. They take initiative, adapt in real-time, and optimize for institutional outcomes like conversion, retention, and efficiency. With Mio, AI shifts from being a tool institutions use, to a teammate they rely on.

What makes Mio AI distinct is its architectural intent. While traditional automation tools operate at the surface responding to inputs, handling tickets, Mio AI embeds itself within the institution’s actual rhythm. It draws knowledge from the institution’s knowledge hub. It syncs in real time. It learns continuously. And through a no-code command interface, institutions define exactly how their agents should act: what to say, when to escalate, what tone to carry, ensuring every interaction is accurate, contextual, and brand-aligned.

In a sector like education where context, transparency, and sensitivity matter deeply, Meritto has taken a human-in-the-loop approach to AI deployment. Every Mio agent action is auditable, every conversation traceable, and every decision accountable.

This is not about launching a feature. This is about launching a future,” said Naveen Goyal, Founder & CEO of Meritto. “Mio AI is our statement of intent: to build the intelligent infrastructure education needs next, not just to catch up with technology, but to lead with it. Education deserves more than generative gloss. It needs purpose-built intelligence that reflects its depth, scale, and human stakes.”

Built natively on Meritto’s vertical SaaS stack, Mio AI reflects the company’s broader vision for SaaS 2.0, where software is no longer just about digitizing workflows, but about infusing them with decision-making, adaptability, and autonomous execution. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing systems and teams, offering institutions an AI layer that is trained, trusted, and tuned to their brand and business logic from day one.

Over the coming time, Meritto will continue to expand the Mio suite, introducing agents that support lead nurturing, financial workflows, academic advising, and internal team operations, creating a truly distributed digital workforce for education.

Mio doesn’t just save time. It makes time more valuable,” said Narendra Pal Singh, SVP Engineering at Meritto. Mio AI agents don’t ask what to do, they know. And they act. That’s the shift from automation to autonomy. That’s the infrastructure we’ve built.”

The launch, hosted at Taj Palace, New Delhi, brought together leaders from India’s top universities, business schools, and EdTechs. In one of the day’s most anticipated sessions, Hitesh Oberoi, MD & CEO of Info Edge, spoke about what the AI convergence means for everyone shaping or stepping into tomorrow’s workforce.

This launch follows Meritto’s continued commitment to deep-tech innovation in education, including recent announcements like Collexo Pixi, a smart, unified student ID card. As India’s education sector prepares for its next wave of digital transformation, Meritto remains focused on what it has always done best: building systems that institutions grow on.

Adobe Expands AI Agentic Offerings, Adds New Agent Capabilities in Adobe Experience Platform

Adobe Expands AI Agentic Offerings, Adds New Agent Capabilities in Adobe Experience Platform
  • Adobe unveiled Product Support Agent, a new AI Agent in Adobe Experience Platform which helps marketers and experience teams resolve issues impacting marketing workflows
  • Product Support Agent is the latest addition to Adobe’s suite of purpose-built AI Agents; it joins the now generally available Data Insights Agent, which simplifies the process of deriving insights from customer data in Customer Journey Analytics
  • Product Support Agent and Data Insights Agent are powered by Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) Agent Orchestrator, which allows businesses to build, manage, and orchestrate AI agents across Adobe and third-party ecosystems

Today, Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced several updates to Adobe’s agentic functionality, including Product Support Agent, a net-new agent which provides an interactive, and guided way for marketers and customer experience professionals to diagnosis and resolve issues impacting marketing workflows in Adobe Experience Platform applications. As part of this expansion, Adobe is also announcing the general availability of Data Insights Agent, the first agent built on the Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator, which provides the foundation for businesses to orchestrate purpose-built AI agents that engage directly with customers and support the daily work across Adobe applications and third-party ecosystems.

Product Support Agent is designed to support marketing and customer experience teams in their Adobe Experience Platform applications by providing an interactive way to troubleshoot, diagnose, and escalate issues. Too often, marketers experience operational roadblocks that can interrupt workflows and pull their focus away from strategic, high-impact work. Troubleshooting application issues and managing support tickets, can be time-consuming and distract from core responsibilities as they often involve cross-functional inputs and collaboration, and can mean tracking down fixes that require navigating complex workflows and technical documentation, distracting them from core responsibilities. By delivering in-the-moment troubleshooting guidance and case management, Product Support Agent enables faster resolutions and greater operational efficiency.

As soon as a user asks for help with creating a support ticket within the AI Assistant conversational interface, the Product Support Agent gathers relevant contextual data from the environment automatically—logs, metadata, user session details, and more—and accurately pre-fills the support case, which the user can review before submitting. This ensures critical information is captured from the start and enables the agent to handle triage-level tasks like ticket categorization, prioritization, and context gathering, so support teams can begin working on the issue earlier with no delays.

Users can also get real-time status updates for of any open ticket directly through the same AI Assistant interface, without switching tools or logging into separate portals. Product Support Agent will soon be able to provide proactive notifications whenever there’s a change in case status. This reduces follow-ups and means support case requesters can be alerted as soon as there’s progress, allowing them to communicate confidently with stakeholders and stay in control of the support experience.

As part of this expansion, we are also announcing the general availability of Data Insights Agent, the first agent built on the Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator. Data Insights Agent allows users to query data directly using natural language, just simple questions like “What channels drove the most conversions last week?” and in an instant the Data Insights agent builds the visualization in the Analysis Workspace within Adobe Customer Journey Analysis.

Data Insights Agent not only simplifies insight generation for marketers by allowing them to query their data in natural language and generate visualizations from scratch, but also lets you make changes to previously built visualizations and build analysis iteratively.

“Adobe’s Data Insights Agent will be a major unlock for our organization, shortening the time it takes to find and deliver actionable insights,” said Lokesh Alluri, digital and marketing analytics manager, Lenovo. “By streamlining time-intensive workflows, from reporting to forecasting, we can ensure that every stakeholder has timely data to drive initiatives that enhance customer satisfaction.”

Experience Platform Agents are built for a new era of work where AI is powering creativity and marketing execution to help teams move faster, work smarter, and stay in control. Agentic AI will never replace human expertise, but it can certainly work alongside experts to help create more capacity so they can focus on creative solutions that will drive greater business impact than ever before.

IBM Replaces Hundreds of HR Professionals With AI Agents

IBM Replaces Hundreds of HR Professionals With AI Agents

IBM has replaced about 200 human resources professionals with AI agents. The company’s AskHR AI agent now automates 94% of routine HR tasks, including pay statements, reported The Wall Street Journal.

However, instead of reducing overall employment, IBM has redirected resources to hire more programmers, salespeople, and marketing professionals—roles that require critical thinking and human interaction.

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna emphasized that this shift has actually led to more hiring in other areas, such as software engineering, sales, and marketing.

While we have done a huge amount of work inside IBM on leveraging AI and automation on certain enterprise workflows, our total employment has actually gone up, because what it does is it gives you more investment to put into other areas,” Krishna told The Wall Street Journal.

IBM’s approach reflects a broader trend of using AI to handle repetitive tasks while reallocating resources to roles that require critical thinking and human interaction.

IBM has also expanded its generative AI division, which has grown into a $6 billion business, offering tools that allow customers to build AI agents capable of autonomously carrying out complex tasks.

This shift reflects a broader trend where AI is reshaping job roles rather than simply eliminating them.

Several tech companies have started replacing HR professionals with AI agents to streamline operations and improve efficiency. Klarna, the fintech company replaced 700 customer service agents with AI chatbots to handle inquiries and transactions.

Zoom Expands Agentic Skills With the Launch of Custom AI Companion, Zoom Tasks, AI Calendar Scheduling, and More

Zoom Expands Agentic Skills With the Launch of Custom AI Companion, Zoom Tasks, AI Calendar Scheduling, and More

Zoom launched additional agentic skills across Zoom Workplace, delivering on the promise of agentic AI with the Custom AI Companion add-on, Voice Recorder, Tasks, and Custom Avatars, plus new features for Zoom Meetings, Zoom Team Chat, Zoom Whiteboard, Zoom Revenue Accelerator, and more.

A year ago, we launched Zoom Workplace’s AI-first capabilities, transforming how users work—helping them get more done, drive better results, and strengthen their relationships at work. AI Companion became a personal assistant across Zoom Workplace, plugging into all your favorite apps like Outlook, Office, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs,” said Jeff Smith, head of Product for Workplace AI, Meetings, and Spaces at Zoom.

Last month, we announced that AI Companion now includes a set of agentic skills so it can understand, plan, and get things done with minimal input from the user. We’re further delivering on that promise by launching Custom AI Companion, agentic AI, and many other features. We continue to push the boundaries of innovation to bring our customers the very best AI-first solutions that drive productivity and collaboration.”

Get more done with Zoom AI Companion across Zoom Workplace

Zoom AI Companion helps users save critical time in their day by surfacing and organizing tasks, enabling them to scale their work, taking notes for them during Zoom Meetings and in-person conversations, and much more, so they have time to focus on what matters most.

Zoom Tasks

Between meetings, emails, chats, and calls, teams and individuals can get overwhelmed with keeping track of everything that needs to get done. Zoom Tasks with AI Companion helps surface, manage, and complete tasks across Zoom Workplace to get more done, and can aggregate tasks all within the centralized task management tab or embed tasks in a Zoom Doc for easy tracking.
  • Get a curated to-do list: Zoom AI Companion can automatically generate recommended tasks and assign them to the right owner based on meeting summaries or be prompted to surface tasks from Zoom Team Chat, Zoom Mail, Zoom Docs, and more, quickly converting action items into actionable tasks to accept or delegate to others. 
  • Complete to-dos faster: Zoom AI Companion can help users get started and complete tasks by providing insights and recommending next steps.
  • Drive follow-through and visibility: Zoom Tasks can help everyone stay on track and in the know by utilizing the centralized task management tab, sharing and assigning tasks across accounts, and summarizing tasks using AI Companion.
  • Zoom Tasks is now available for Zoom Workplace plans; with AI Companion capabilities available for eligible paid plans.

Voice Recorder

For in-person interactions, the AI Companion Voice Recorder can transcribe, summarize, and capture action items, so users can enjoy the benefits of AI Companion even when they’re not on a Zoom Meeting or Zoom Phone call. Voice Recorder enables users to connect face to face, whether it’s a spontaneous meeting or a planned one, and not worry about taking notes manually. (Available later this month on mobile and coming to Rooms this summer.)

Streamlining collaboration with enhancements to Zoom AI Companion, Zoom Meetings, Zoom Spaces, and Zoom Team Chat

Zoom prioritizes innovation, consistently delivering new and exciting products like Zoom Tasks, as well as improvements to its existing product lineup.
  • To better support multi-lingual and global teams using Zoom Team Chat, Zoom is now using its own Small Language Model (SLM) optimized for specific AI skills to provide improved translations from eight languages (German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Portuguese-Brazilian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese) to English.
  • Also in Zoom Team Chat, users can now mention people who are not in a chat/channel and share their contact info without having to add them to the chat/channel. (Available now.)
  • Users can ask AI Companion to schedule meetings with multiple participants from the side panel in any product tab within Zoom Workplace. AI Companion will find the best times for all invitees by pulling data from across the platform and suggesting scheduling options for the user to confirm. AI Companion will then set up the Zoom meeting, add it to the participants’ calendars, and generate suggested meeting topics and agendas.
  • During Zoom meetings, users can create private group chats 1:1 or with a specific subset of participants. They can even add a custom name to their group to help track multiple private chat groups at once and share links within the private group chats. (Available now.)
Get better results with Custom AI Companion

Custom AI Companion

Starting today, organizations can tailor AI agents and skills to address their unique needs and drive efficiency across their organizations with the Custom AI Companion paid add-on. Custom AI Companion is powered by Zoom AI Studio, a low-code, drag-and-drop builder where admins can customize Zoom AI Companion for their organization.

This summer, users will be able to connect beyond Zoom via integrated third-party AI agents with Custom AI Companion. To facilitate this integration, Zoom will support both Model Context Protocol from Anthropic and Agent to Agent Protocol from Google in Zoom AI Studio, making it simpler to integrate external AI agents with AI Companion.

Bring Your Own Index (BYOI)

With Bring Your Own Index (BYOI), organizations can now connect AI Companion interactions to a wide variety of enterprise data sources like project management tools, cloud storage, email accounts, and customer databases through Amazon Q Business or Glean. For example, users can connect their Amazon Q Business index to surface relevant documents, emails, and project info in AI Companion to quickly gain context during a Zoom meeting.

Custom Avatars for Zoom Clips

Zoom Clips helps users easily share information without the need for a meeting. For example, if a user needs to walk a colleague through a document they drafted, rather than wait for both of them to be available, the user can simply record a Zoom clip and share it with their colleague.

With Custom Avatars for Zoom Clips, users can now use AI Companion to create an avatar in their likeness, provide a transcript of the desired content, and allow AI Companion to generate a clip for them, saving them invaluable time without the need to re-record and helping them scale their efforts.

Custom Avatars for Zoom Clips are designed with security and authenticity safeguards, including protection around the initial video creation. For example, gesture checks help detect the potential use of pre-recorded or manipulated footage, and video and audio watermarks indicate its AI origin.

Custom Avatars for Zoom Clips are available now with the Custom AI Companion add-on and will also be available as a separate SKU, which is planned to be released in May.

The Custom AI Companion add-on is available for $12 per user per month, with more capabilities expected this summer. To learn more about all of the features that are and will be available for Custom AI Companion license holders, visit the Zoom website and read the Zoom blog to learn more about how organizations can tailor AI Companion to meet their unique needs.

Empowering contact center and sales teams

Enhancements to Zoom CX include new workforce management features designed to provide greater flexibility, precision, and efficiency in agent scheduling and staffing forecasts. These enhancements empower both supervisors and agents with advanced tools for optimizing workforce planning across multiple channels.

  • Enhancements to dynamic daily scheduling further improve flexibility using AI by optimizing weekly schedules to customize shift structures for specific days. For example, the system can pick days to be worked, implement shorter shifts on Saturdays, or incorporate additional activities beyond standard breaks and meals. (Available now.)
  • Agent scheduling preferences allow employees to rank up to three preferred shift start times in quarter-hour increments to help balance workforce needs with employee preferences and enable increased job satisfaction and improved efficiency. (Available now.)

Zoom Revenue Accelerator

In today’s high-velocity sales environment, teams are under constant pressure to move fast, stay aligned, and keep data consistent across fragmented tools and channels. The latest innovations in Zoom Revenue Accelerator use AI insights and automation to streamline execution and help teams close deals faster with greater consistency and confidence.

A new AI playbooks feature for Zoom Revenue Accelerator introduces an always-on agent that can run on admin-configured sales methodologies such as BANT, SPICED, and MEDDICC on behalf of sales reps behind the scenes. Administrators can deploy out-of-the-box or custom frameworks to ensure a standardized, repeatable approach to sales execution based on organizational preferences. This new feature leverages advanced AI and LLMs to analyze sales conversations to surface key customer insights and automatically suggest updates to opportunity fields. This helps reduce manual data entry, keep CRM records accurate and up to date, and free up sales teams to focus on what they do best — selling.
  • By reducing manual data entry and providing more accurate and consistent CRM records, sales teams can focus on selling
  • Sales managers gain deeper visibility into team adherence to selected methodologies through tracking and reporting, enabling more effective coaching.
  • For administrators, AI playbooks simplify the implementation of standardized or custom sales frameworks for a more structured and scalable sales process.
Additionally, the introduction of deal explorer for Zoom Revenue Accelerator enables sales teams to surface critical sales insights through natural language queries. By aggregating and analyzing information across the entire opportunity lifecycle, deal explorer eliminates the need to manually sift through multiple data sources. This helps sales reps save valuable time, improve sales execution, and stay focused on closing deals with greater confidence.
  • For example, sales professionals can ask questions about a specific deal such as “What are the next steps for this opportunity?” or “Has pricing been discussed?” and receive contextual, structured answers based on a comprehensive analysis of calls, meetings, and CRM data.
These new features are available now to Zoom Revenue Accelerator customers.
