MeetTwins Is Building an AI Avatar to Attend Google Meet Calls

Summary

MeetTwins, an AI assistant from Indian developer Aditya Shinde, is recruiting beta users for a tool that attends Google Meet calls on behalf of its operator. It is intended for routine status updates, student work-and-class conflicts, and some sales or customer check-ins. Before a call, the user supplies approved answers, documents, other context, and topics the assistant must avoid. Shinde says the system is designed not to guess, invent information, or make commitments requiring human approval. Questions outside the brief are referred to the operator, who receives an email summarizing the discussion and unresolved items after the meeting. The product uses AI models from Indian firm Sarvam and can add a digital-twin avatar created with Simli. Participants can type "/stop" in the chat to make the bot leave immediately. MeetTwins is labeled as AI and announces itself when it first speaks; Shinde says this transparency helps build trust, although the article notes that colleagues may still resent interacting with a bot instead of the person they expected. The product remains in development, and its usefulness is presented as open to debate, particularly for meetings that could have been handled by email or Slack.
