Google may automate personal calls with Gemini AI

Google is rumored to expand its "Call for Me" feature to automate personal calls using Gemini AI, allowing users to send messages to friends and family more easily.

Reports suggest that Google might be expanding its "Call for Me" feature to include personal calls through Gemini AI. An APK teardown revealed an introductory screen for "Gemini Calling" with examples like "Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late." While this expansion may not automate full conversations, it could help send quick messages to those who prefer calls or have trouble with texts.

Additionally, granular permission settings for Gemini actions in individual apps were found, allowing users to choose which app capabilities Gemini can access. However, it remains uncertain whether Google will publicly release this expansion or the granular permission settings.
