Google's Gemini Can Now Make Calls for You on Pixel Phones Call for Me--a feature that's exclusive to the Pixel 11 series--gives robocalls a new meaning. Google has been trying to have its AI assistant make phone calls on your behalf for almost 10 years. It enabled the now-defunct Google Assistant to call restaurants and book tables . That service was shuttered a few years ago, but now comes round two, powered by modern large language models . On Thursday, Google announced Call for Me, an experimental beta feature exclusive to its latest Pixel 11 smartphones in the US (and in English).

Google has had an AI-driven Hold for Me feature available for several generations of the Pixel smartphone. Starting today, the company's AI will be able to handle an entire phone call for some routine business tasks. Select Pixel 11 owners can ask the Gemini chatbot to make a call within the Gemini app, and the tool will speak to a person on the other end of the conversation, as well as navigating directory menus and waiting on hold. According to the blog post from Google, this Pixel 11 feature can take on moderately complex tasks. Examples of Call for Me's utility include checking if a hardware store has an item in stock, moving a haircut appointment to another day, or reserving patio seating at a restaurant.
