Google Expands 'Call for Me' AI Feature to Personal Calls
WHY IT MATTERS
This expansion of the 'Call for Me' feature could simplify communication for those who prefer phone calls or struggle with missed texts, but its limitations to basic calls remain unclear.
What happened
Google is reportedly expanding its 'Call for Me' AI feature to include personal calls, allowing users to send messages to friends and family.
The feature, found in an APK teardown, includes examples such as calling a mom to inform her of a 15-minute delay and asking a friend if they are coming for dinner.
The calls are likely to be basic and text message-like, with Google's AI delivering quick messages to those who prefer phone calls or miss texts often.
