Gemini Call for Me might tell your mom you’re running late

Google's AI feature, Call for Me, might be expanded to allow users to send messages to friends and family. According to Android Authority, an APK teardown revealed a Gemini Calling introductory screen with examples of potential uses, such as calling a mom to say you're running late. The Verge reports that these examples include "Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late" and "Call John and ask if he is coming for dinner".

The feature, currently available on Pixel 11 phones, allows Gemini to call businesses on behalf of users. The proposed expansion would enable Gemini to call contacts to share information or ask questions and report back to the user. This could be useful for people who prefer phone calls or often miss texts.

Gemini's capabilities in this area appear to be limited to basic, text message-like calls, with The Verge suggesting it might not automate entire phone calls but rather deliver quick messages.
