As of September 25, 2026, Google has begun testing its 'Call for Me' feature within the Gemini AI, which enables automated phone calls for users. This feature is available to Pixel 11 owners in the US who have a paid Gemini subscription and require the beta version of Google's Phone app to use it. Gemini can perform tasks such as making reservations, rescheduling appointments, and checking product stock, functioning similarly to the earlier Google Duplex experiment.
Google claims that Gemini can handle phone menus, wait on hold, and make calls from the user's own number. Additionally, a live transcript feature allows users to follow the conversation and take control at any moment. This development reflects a significant step in AI's ability to manage real-world tasks, emphasizing that 'real conversations involve a lot of nuance,' according to Google. The introduction of 'Call for Me' marks a notable evolution in AI-driven communication tools, positioning Google alongside competitors like Meta, which has developed AI agents such as Muse and Instinct.
