Google Tests Gemini AI That Calls Businesses for Pixel 11 Users
Summary
Google begins testing Gemini "Call for Me," an AI agent that calls businesses from users’ own numbers to check stock, book restaurants or reschedule appointments, initially for U.S. Pixel 11 owners with a Gemini subscription and the beta Google Phone app.
Key Points
- Google tests Gemini "Call for Me," which lets the AI place business calls for users, beginning with U.S. Pixel 11 owners who subscribe to Gemini and use the beta Google Phone app.
- Gemini can use approved personal information, call from the user's own phone number, navigate automated menus and hold queues, and let users monitor a live transcript or take over mid-call.
- Google says the AI can check product stock, reserve restaurants, reschedule appointments, and place holds, but starts the experiment at small scale because real-world conversations are nuanced.
