Google adds Call for Me to Pixel 11 for US users

The assistant uses the same voice as Gemini Live interactions, regardless of the user's preferred accent. Google states the feature works best with businesses and will not call emergency services, though users can provide specific numbers for other contacts. This expansion builds on existing Pixel calling features like call screening, robocall blocking, and hold detection. The company acknowledges that real-world calls are unpredictable, noting that people may hang up on AI voices or accents may cause misunderstandings.

Google’s spokesperson emphasized that this is an experiment designed to test various cases, including noisy environments and different accents, to improve the feature. The company confirms Gemini will politely hang up if a business cannot accommodate a request. This move aligns with broader industry trends where AI agents handle customer interactions, potentially leading to a future where AI assistants communicate directly with business AI systems.
