zoom Zoom AI Services Summarizer
Current API audit: Official docs and OpenAPI were rechecked on 2026-07-10. The May 21, 2026
release added batch job listing/cancellation and a details field on batch file list/detail
responses; all endpoints are included below.
Implementation guidance for Zoom AI Services Summarizer across:
- synchronous inline transcript summarization (
POST /aiservices/summarizer/summarize) - asynchronous batch transcript-file jobs (
/aiservices/summarizer/jobs*) - recap, action item, detailed summary, and combined summary tasks
- Build-platform JWT generation and server-side credential handling
- webhook-driven batch status updates

Routing Guardrail
- If the user already has transcript or dialogue text and needs a recap, summary, action items, or full summary, route here first.
- If the user has audio/video media and needs text first, route to ../scribe/SKILL.md, then chain here.
- If the user needs plain text translated, route to ../translator/SKILL.md.
- If the user needs live meeting media before summarization, route to ../rtms/SKILL.md.
- If the user needs the raw AI Services endpoint inventory, chain ../rest-api/SKILL.md.
- If the user needs webhook signature patterns, optionally chain ../webhooks/SKILL.md.

Core Workflow
- Get Build-platform API key and API secret.
- Generate an HS256 JWT server-side.
- Choose fast mode for inline transcript text or batch mode for stored transcript files.
- Select the summarization
task:recap,summary,action_items, orfull_summary. - Submit the request and persist
result.textor batch output files. - For batch jobs, poll job/file status or receive webhook notifications.

Output Contract

recap: concise recapsummary: detailed summaryaction_items: action item sections grouped by ownerfull_summary: recap, summary, and action items together
Chaining
- Media to transcript to summary -> ../scribe/SKILL.md +
summarizer - Summary to localized output ->
summarizer+ ../translator/SKILL.md - Batch webhook receiver ->
summarizer+ ../webhooks/SKILL.md - Raw endpoint discovery -> ../rest-api/SKILL.md
- Cross-product routing -> ../general/SKILL.md
