Google lets Gemini make calls for users, starting with Pixel 11 subscribers

KEY FACTS

Google launched a Call for Me feature that has Gemini call merchants on the user's behalf.
The feature first opens in the US to paying Pixel 11 subscribers.
Using it requires the beta version of the Android Phone app, and it remains experimental.
With the user's authorization, Gemini can share personal information during the call.
Users can view a live transcript of the call and take over at any time.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Proxy calling has moved from demo to a small-scale, subscription-based trial, showing that the competitive battleground for AI agents is shifting from chat to doing things on the user's behalf. But letting AI use your own number and relay personal information to negotiate with merchants keeps privacy and authorization boundaries the biggest variables; a small-scale test is both prudent and necessary.
