Google’s Gemini Lets Pixel 11 Users Make Business Calls Without Dialing

WHY IT MATTERS

By automating routine phone interactions, Gemini reduces hold times and frees users from manual dialing, improving convenience and productivity for everyday tasks.

What happened

Google has launched an early‑experiment feature on the Pixel 11 that lets users delegate local business calls to its Gemini AI. By simply telling Gemini to call a restaurant, a retailer or a service provider, the AI initiates the call, introduces itself, navigates automated menus, waits on hold, and handles the conversation with the business representative. The user remains in control through a live transcript view and can intervene at any time. The feature is available through the Gemini app on Pixel 11 and is designed to streamline routine calls such as reservations, stock checks or appointment rescheduling.
