Gemini can now call businesses for you: Unboxing Google’s new AI feature
Google is set to roll out its Call for Me feature in the Gemini app for selected users. This feature allows users to automate calls to businesses and check services like prices and hours. Users must be 18 or older, possess a Pixel 11 device, and have a paid subscription. Initially, limits will be placed on the number of calls made each day.
Google has unveiled a new AI feature called Call for Me within the Gemini app on mobile phones, with an early preview set to launch in the United States within the coming weeks. The feature's capabilities include calling businesses, discovering store hours and prices, handling complex requests such as rescheduling appointments, checking product availability, and managing call waiting times. It can also disclose personal information that has been authorized by the user.
Call for Me operates on a phone using the user's own number and displays a real-time transcript of the call, allowing the user to intervene at any moment. The feature is currently limited to users aged 18 or older in the US who possess a Pixel 11 series device and a paid Gemini subscription. Daily call limits are in place, and it is presently capable of dialing only within the United States.
Google began this testing phase due to the complexity of real-world conversations, acknowledging the need for refinement before wider implementation.
