The "Distance Gap" in Hybrid Work
We’ve all experienced it: being the only person joining a meeting remotely while everyone else is in a room together. You miss the side conversations, you struggle to hear the person furthest from the mic, and you feel more like an observer than a participant.
At Neat, we believe hybrid meetings shouldn't feel distant. They should feel like everyone is in the same room. With Google Meet now native on Neat devices, we are using a combination of hardware and software to ensure that every interaction feels deeply human.

Precision Audio Meets AI Intelligence
Clear communication starts with what you hear. Neat’s precision audio technology is designed to suppress background noise and enhance human speech. But when paired with Google Meet, it does so much more.
Built on the latest Android OS (A13), Neat devices provide the high-fidelity audio stream needed to supercharge Google Meet’s AI features:
Enhanced Captions: Real-time captioning becomes incredibly accurate when the audio source is crystal clear.
Live Translations: For global teams, Neat’s audio helps Google Meet translate conversations on the fly, ensuring that language is no longer a barrier to collaboration.
Gemini Integration: With AI capabilities like “Take notes for me,” the system hears every detail perfectly, so you can stay focused on the discussion while Gemini handles the documentation.

The Power of Companion Mode
Inclusion isn’t just about hearing; it’s about participating. One of the standout features of this integration is Companion Mode.
Participants sitting in the meeting room can join the same Google Meet session from their personal laptop or tablet. This creates a "second screen" experience that allows everyone to:
Chat and React: Send emojis or chat messages without creating audio feedback loops.
Vibrant Interactions: Participate in live polls and Q&A sessions.
Equal Presence: Ensures that in-room and remote participants have the same tools to engage, making the meeting truly interactive.
A Unified Experience for High Confidence
When technology is consistent and intuitive, employee confidence sky-shards. Because the Google Meet UI on Neat is identical to what your team uses every day on their personal devices, there is no need for training.
This familiarity allows your team to skip the technical hurdles and get straight to what matters: connecting and collaborating. From the smallest huddle space to the largest boardroom, we’re making hybrid work feel inclusive, interactive, and unmistakably human.
