GoKawiilGoogle launches Gemini calling feature for Pixel 11 in beta
Google introduced Call for Me, an experimental beta feature limited to Pixel 11 phones in the US and English language, letting Gemini place phone calls to businesses on a user's behalf. Users need a Gemini subscription and enrollment in the Phone by Google app's public beta; Gemini can navigate automated menus, wait on hold, and hand control back to the user via a live transcript. Google says the AI won't call emergency services but can dial specific numbers users provide.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The feature revives Google's decade-long push toward AI-driven phone interactions, first attempted with the now-discontinued Duplex, suggesting the company sees renewed potential in large language models for handling real-world tasks like scheduling and inquiries. Limiting the rollout to one flagship device and beta testers indicates Google may be cautiously validating reliability and user trust before wider release. It also extends Google's existing smart-calling tools, such as call screening and Hold for Me, into a more active assistant role.
