Google’s Pixel 11 is beginning a preliminary rollout of “Call for Me,” a feature that lets the Gemini AI place phone calls to businesses on a user’s behalf, cutting down hold time and manual dialing. The move could boost user convenience while giving Google deeper engagement data, and may shift how businesses handle inbound calls. The rollout follows Google’s recent push to embed Gemini across its ecosystem, expanding on earlier AI‑driven drafts and suggestions.
Engadget reported the feature’s early availability, and The Verge emphasized its potential to eliminate waiting on hold. The development aligns with Google’s strategy to make AI a default assistant on Android devices. Coverage does not detail how the feature will handle privacy or consent, nor does it specify pricing or a timeline for broader release.
It remains unclear whether businesses can opt out or how call quality will be monitored. Future updates are needed to confirm full deployment and user control mechanisms.
