Google tests letting Gemini call businesses for you
Google is testing Gemini Call for Me, which places business calls for paying US Pixel 11 owners.
Google is testing “Call for Me,” a Gemini feature that phones businesses on a user’s behalf from the user’s own number. The experiment is initially limited to US Pixel 11 owners with a paid Gemini subscription who use the beta Android Phone app. Gemini can share user-approved personal information, navigate phone menus, wait on hold, and handle tasks such as reservations, appointment changes, and stock checks while the user follows a live transcript and can take over. It extends earlier Google calling features including Ask for Me, Hold for Me, and Direct My Call.
