- Google is testing "Call for Me," a Gemini-powered feature that places calls to businesses on the user's behalf, initially available to Pixel 11 users with a Gemini subscription in the US.
- The rollout follows Meta's Muse and Instinct, which the source notes already enable AI agents to make calls on users' behalf, positioning Google's feature as a competitive response rather than a category first-mover.
Why it matters: Google is entering an AI-calling category where Meta's Muse and Instinct already operate, per the source, meaning Pixel 11 subscribers get hands-free business calls while Google plays catch-up rather than setting the pace — a reversal for a company that typically leads consumer AI rollouts.
