TechGemini can now call businesses for you so you don’t have to wait on hold

Google is launching an early experiment on Pixel 11 that lets Gemini call local businesses on a user’s behalf for tasks such as reservations, stock checks, and appointment changes. The AI introduces itself, handles phone menus, waits on hold, and conducts the conversation, while users can monitor a live transcript and take over. The preview is rolling out to eligible paid subscribers in the US.
