Google Touts Gemini AI as Business-Calling Agent

Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is testing a feature for its Gemini AI assistant that allows it to make calls on behalf of users. This development puts Google in an increasingly competitive market for personal agents.

The new feature enables Gemini to act as a business-calling agent, making reservations, checking product availability, and rescheduling appointments. This expansion of Gemini's capabilities aims to improve user convenience and automate various tasks.

While the exact timeline for rolling out this feature is unclear, it marks another step in Google's pursuit of making its AI agents more capable and user-friendly.
