Google is testing a new Pixel 11 feature called “Call for Me,” which uses the Gemini assistant to place and manage phone calls on a user’s behalf. Multiple outlets report that the feature is aimed at handling routine call tasks rather than requiring the user to dial and interact manually.
The reports describe “Call for Me” as a function that can place calls, navigate automated phone menus, wait on hold, and show a live transcript while Gemini interacts with the other party. Some coverage also notes that the feature builds on earlier Google efforts such as “Direct My Call” and “Hold for Me,” expanding automation from routing and waiting to initiating and conducting the call itself.
Outlets also differ slightly on rollout status and availability. Wired and Engadget say it is limited to Pixel 11 owners and tied to Gemini access, with Engadget describing a preliminary rollout for select Gemini subscribers. 9to5Google and other sources characterize it as starting testing on the Pixel 11 series, with MakeUseOf focusing on what appears in a beta version and the practical limitations implied by that stage.
