Gemini may soon make calls to your contacts for you

Google recently launched the 'Call for Me' feature on its Pixel 11 phones, allowing the Gemini AI to make calls to businesses on behalf of the user. Now, there are indications that this functionality could extend to include interactions with friends and family, meaning Gemini could call your contacts to share information or ask questions and then report back the answers.

Why it matters

The potential for AI to handle personal calls could transform how we interact in our daily lives. For many, phone calls are a tedious task that is often postponed. Automating this process could free up time and reduce the stress associated with phone interactions.

What we know

So far, Google has confirmed the 'Call for Me' functionality for businesses, but the expansion to personal contacts has not yet been officially implemented. However, the interest in this feature suggests it may be in development, given the growing demand for automated solutions in everyday life.

What’s still unclear

Specific details about when this functionality will be launched or how it will operate in terms of privacy and consent have not been provided. The company has not clarified whether users will have full control over what information is shared or how interactions with friends and family will be managed.
