Google Meet’s ‘take notes with Gemini’ feature may soon go mobile (APK Teardown)

TL;DR

• Google recently introduced the “Take note with Gemini” feature for Google Meet’s web version, utilizing AI to summarize meetings.
• We spotted strings in the Gmail app for Android that hint that this feature could also be coming to mobile devices.

Code

<string name="conf_take_notes_continue_button_text">Continue taking notes</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_controls_title">Take notes with Gemini</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_create_new_doc_description_text">A new document will be created and saved in {OWNER_NAME}'s Drive</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_create_new_doc_ownership_description_text">The document will be attached to the Calendar event and shared with invited guests in your organization</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_entry_point_button_text">Take notes with Gemini</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_info_overview_text">Provides a recap of the meeting conversation backed by a transcript. After the meeting, the notes will be added to the meeting notes document.</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_language_description_text">At this time, Gemini can only take notes in English</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_start_button_text">Start taking notes</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_status_description">After the meeting, the notes will be added to the meeting notes document.</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_status_ongoing_title">Gemini is taking notes</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_status_stopped_title">Note-taking has stopped</string> <string name="conf_take_notes_stop_button_text">Stop taking notes</string> <string name="conf_stop_taking_notes_dialog_message">If you continue, Gemini will stop taking notes from the current meeting.</string> <string name="conf_stop_taking_notes_dialog_title">Stop taking notes for everyone in the meeting</string>

Based on the code strings, it looks like the mobile version of the tool will function similarly to the web version. Here’s what we can expect from the feature:

• Automated meeting recaps: After the meeting, Gemini will summarize the conversation and also provide a full transcript, which will be added to a shared meeting notes document.
• Google Calendar and Drive integration: The feature will work closely with Google Calendar and Google Drive, making it easy to save and share notes with attendees after the meeting.
• Real-time tracking: During the meeting, users will get updates on Gemini’s note-taking status with prompts like “Gemini is taking notes,” etc.
• English-only support: Gemini will only take notes for spoken English as of now. Other languages are likely to come later.

While we couldn’t get the mobile version to work just yet, this feature could be a game-changer for professionals who want to manage their meetings more efficiently — right from their phones.
