Webex AI Assistant (the Cisco AI Assistant) is built into the Webex Suite, adding AI features to Webex Meetings, Messaging, and Calling rather than working as a standalone app for other platforms. In meetings it provides real-time transcription, automatic meeting summaries, highlights, notes, and action item tracking, and it lets participants ask questions about what was discussed without interrupting the meeting. It can generate post-meeting summaries within recordings, including transcripts, notes, action items, and chapters, and it offers message summaries in Webex messaging. The AI Assistant is included on paid Webex plans (Webex Meet, Webex Suite, and Webex Enterprise); the free Webex plan does not include it. Paid plans add AI-powered cloud recording (10 GB on Webex Meet), closed captions, and longer meetings. Real-time translation to 100+ languages is available as a separate paid add-on.
