Google is testing a Gemini feature that places calls to businesses from a user's own phone number. Call for Me can navigate automated menus, wait on hold and speak to staff about tasks such as making a reservation, moving an appointment or checking whether an item is available.
The user approves which personal details Gemini may share during the conversation. A live transcript shows the call as it happens, and the person can take over at any point. That combination is meant to reduce the time spent listening to hold music without turning the interaction into a completely invisible delegation.
Availability is narrow. The test is limited to Pixel 11 owners in the United States who have a paid Gemini subscription and the beta version of Google's Phone app. Google says it is beginning with a small group because live conversations involve nuance that is difficult to handle reliably. It has not announced a wider release date.
Call for Me extends Google's earlier Duplex work on automated business calls and joins a growing group of consumer agents that can contact companies on a person's behalf. The transcript and takeover option provide useful oversight, but users still need to check important details before confirming a booking or purchase, especially when an agent must interpret ambiguous availability, prices or cancellation terms.
