Google's AI-Powered Call Feature Now Available on Select Pixel Phones
Google has launched an AI-powered feature called Call for Me on select Pixel phones in the US. The feature uses Gemini, Google's AI assistant, to make phone calls to businesses on behalf of users, gathering information and completing tasks such as booking appointments or checking opening hours.
Call for Me is currently available only to US users over 18 with a Google AI subscription, which costs a minimum of $4.99 per month for AI Plus or up to $199.99 per month for AI Ultra. The feature is exclusive to the latest Pixel 11 series devices: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
The feature uses an AI-powered tool that tells businesses it's calling that it's an AI assistant, stating the user's name and using their phone number and cell network. However, users take on any risk if a business decides to block their number for using an AI assistant.
