Common Issues
- AI Companion features not appearing: Ensure that AI Companion is enabled at the account level. Also, check that individual features like Sentence Completion or Quick Reply are enabled within the Team Chat settings.
- Sentence Completion suggestions are irrelevant: AI suggestions are based on context. Ensure users are providing sufficient context in their messages for the AI to generate relevant suggestions. While the AI gets better over time, irrelevant suggestions may occur.
- Quick Reply suggestions are inappropriate: Admins should monitor feedback and report any inappropriate AI-generated responses to Zoom.
- Users are not seeing Quick Schedule prompts: The AI detects potential meetings based on conversation content. Ensure conversations contain elements that would indicate a need for a meeting (e.g., discussion of schedules, action items, etc.).
- AI Companion generates incorrect information: Remind users to always review and edit AI-generated content before sending, as the AI might not always be accurate. It is a tool to enhance, not replace, human input.
