Google's AI-Powered Calling Service Duplex Is Now Available in More Countries -

According to the Google support page, Google Duplex will now be available in the UK, Australia, and Canada. Moreover, VentureBeat & TheVerge Reports has discovered a new addition of phone numbers on the support page that Google has started to use when calling via Duplex from a distinct country. Google also elucidated that it's not a full rollout of the service and it is using Duplex mainly to contact businesses in these new countries so that business hours can be updated for Google Maps and Search. Even the CEO Sundar Pichai has highlighted this use of Google Duplex for business last month, as he mentioned in his blog that in the coming days, businesses will be able to easily mark themselves as'temporarily closed' just using Google My Business. Moreover, the core purpose of using this artificial intelligence (AI) technology Duplex is to make it possible to reach businesses to confirm their updated business hours and reflect them accurately when people look at Search and Maps.
