3CX lands V20 Update 9 — redesigned web client and AI assistants in the PBX
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Google Meet and Eventscase — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Google Meet stabilizes its AI features with consent controls, customization, and mobile parity.
Google Meet is in cleanup mode for the AI features it shipped earlier in the year. Admins can now require explicit participant consent before Take Notes with Gemini, recordings, or transcripts begin (off by default, configurable per OU). Take Notes for Me gained customization options and a refined Decisions section, video quality improved on high-resolution displays, and speech translation extended from web to Android and iOS. ChromeOS rooms picked up additional certified BYOD switchers.
Eventscase's feed is an events-industry blog, with EVA assistant work the only product thread
The tracked feed is Eventscase's events-industry blog plus monthly news round-ups, not a conventional changelog. Most of the recent window is editorial (evergreen-content, internal-events, data-strategy, whitepaper promos), with the recurring product thread being EVA, the company's WhatsApp-based virtual event assistant, including a post on EVA gaining voice-note support.

Two arcs: Meet's AI features are gaining the governance and customization knobs that enterprise customers ask for after launch — explicit consent, granular admin controls, mobile parity. And the underlying call-quality work continues with sharper video and stereo audio support. The product is consolidating, not expanding capability surface.
Expect more per-meeting consent and audit primitives as regulated industries push back on AI features that record by default. Speech translation will likely add more language pairs and integrate tighter with the Take Notes/transcript layer, since that closes the obvious gap of multilingual meetings producing single-language artifacts.

The company is steadily building its AI-for-events story around EVA and multi-source event data, repositioning from a pure event-management platform toward AI-assisted attendee experience and analytics. But the blog format keeps actual EVA capability changes mixed in with newsletters and whitepapers, so shipped detail is thin.
Expect continued EVA and AI-for-events content, likely with more assistant capabilities and data-integration framing. Concrete releases will keep surfacing inside blog posts rather than as discrete changelog entries.
