- [What is an AI meeting agent?](https://mainroom.ai/blog/what-is-an-ai-meeting-agent/) — An AI meeting agent is an AI participant in a live meeting: it listens, speaks, presents, and acts, unlike a notetaker that records and summarizes. Definition, capabilities, and how one joins a call.
- [AI notetaker vs. AI meeting agent: what is the difference?](https://mainroom.ai/blog/ai-notetaker-vs-ai-meeting-agent/) — AI notetakers record and summarize. AI meeting agents participate: they answer, present, demo, gather input, and act. A side-by-side comparison with a table.
- [How to invite an AI agent to a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call](https://mainroom.ai/blog/how-to-invite-an-ai-agent-to-google-meet-teams-or-zoom/) — Step by step: build an agent, give it an email address, add it to a calendar invite, admit it from the lobby, and talk to it. No plugin or install on the meeting platform.
- [Meeting manners for AI agents: what we learned putting one in real calls](https://mainroom.ai/blog/meeting-manners-for-ai-agents/) — The hardest part of an AI meeting participant is knowing when not to speak. First-hand notes on addressing, mentions, one-on-one versus rooms, mute, interruptions and demos.
- [An AI that teaches on a whiteboard, inside the meeting](https://mainroom.ai/blog/ai-whiteboard-teaching-in-meetings/) — How a Mainroom agent explains a concept by drawing it: one or two elements at a time, talking over the marker, answering questions on the drawing. What it looks like and why it beats a slide.
