Gemini Call for Me might tell your mom you’re running late
The Verge • • general
Key Points:
- Google is reportedly considering expanding its "Call for Me" AI feature to include sending basic voice messages to friends and family, beyond its current use for business calls.
- The feature, named "Gemini Calling," appears to support simple, text message-like calls, such as notifying someone about being late or checking if they are coming for dinner.
- This expansion aims to deliver quick voice messages to people who prefer phone calls, frequently miss texts, or use landline phones, rather than automating full conversations.
- Android Authority uncovered granular permission settings for Gemini in individual apps, allowing users to control which app features Gemini can access and potentially opt out of automated calls.
- It remains uncertain whether Google will officially release this expanded feature or the detailed permission controls to the public.
