  "summary": "Google has introduced a new \"Call for Me\" feature on the Pixel 11 series, which leverages Gemini Intelligence to handle routine phone calls on behalf of users. This feature is an early experiment that aims to book appointments, place items on hold, and reschedule reservations, with Google emphasizing its commitment to respecting the time of shop staff and front-desk personnel. Users will have full control over the experience, as their Pixel 11 will call on their behalf using the Gemini app, with a live transcript available for review. The feature is being rolled out to Gemini subscribers using the Phone by Google beta on select Pixel 11 devices in the US, with Google taking a cautious approach to ensure the experience is refined before wider adoption.",
