Indian developer Aditya Shinde created it after wanting to skip meetings himself. The app uses AI models from Sarvam and Simli’s avatar tech to answer pre-approved questions and relay approved information, avoiding the need for the user to participate live.\n\nShinde says MeetTwins won’t improvise or mislead, but only answer what’s been pre-briefed. If a participant types `/stop`, the bot exits immediately. The tool targets status updates, student work-life balance, and routine check-ins. Shinde acknowledges risks—colleagues may resent AI attendance—but claims transparency builds trust. The project is still recruiting beta testers.","keyPoints":["MeetTwins uses AI avatars to attend Google Meet calls for users, avoiding live participation","Developed by Aditya Shinde using Sarvam’s AI models and Simli’s avatar technology","Tool answers only pre-approved questions and exits if participants type `/stop`"],"whyItMatters":"The tool could reduce time spent in unnecessary meetings but risks alienating colleagues by replacing human presence.","category":{"slug":"marketing","name":"Marketing & Small Business","url":"https://digestai.news/category/marketing"},"entities":{"companies":["MeetTwins","Sarvam","Simli","Google"],"models":[],"people":["Aditya Shinde"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-30T16:03:07Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-30T16:03:07Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"The Register AI/ML","title":"Show colleagues how much you care by sending an AI avatar to your Google Meet call","url":"https://theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/09/30/show-colleagues-how-much-you-care-by-sending-an-ai-avatar-to-your-google-meet-call/5300205","publishedAt":"2026-09-30T16:03:07Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"MeetTwins lets users send AI avatars to Google Meet calls\", 30 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/meettwins-lets-users-send-ai-avatars-to-google-meet-calls","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"MeetTwins lets users send AI avatars to Google Meet calls","datePublished":"2026-09-30T16:03:07Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/meettwins-lets-users-send-ai-avatars-to-google-meet-calls"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
