Google Tests Gemini AI to Make Calls for Pixel 11 Users in the US

Google has been working on ways to make phone calls less of a chore for years. Previous features like 'Direct My Call' and 'Hold for Me' let users avoid waiting on hold or navigating phone menus. With the launch of the Pixel 11, Google introduced something even more advanced: an AI assistant that can actually make calls for you.

The new feature, called 'Call for Me,' uses Google's Gemini AI to handle phone conversations with businesses. The goal is to let users skip the hassle of making routine calls, like booking appointments or checking store hours, by letting the AI handle it instead.

On September 24, 2026, tech outlets began reporting that Google was testing 'Call for Me' with a limited group of Pixel 11 users in the US. The feature allows Gemini to call businesses and speak to them on the user's behalf, while the user listens in and can step in if needed, according to Digital Trends.

Early coverage described this as an 'early experiment' available only to those with a Gemini subscription, and only on the Pixel 11 series, as TechCrunch reported. The AI can handle tasks like making reservations, asking about product availability, or rescheduling appointments, but it is not designed to make personal or emergency calls.

The rollout is still in its testing phase, and Google has not detailed how long the trial will last or how it might expand. Outlets noted that users remain in control, able to monitor the conversation and intervene if the AI gets stuck or needs help, as explained by CNET.

While the technology aims to save time and reduce frustration, some coverage pointed out possible challenges, such as how businesses respond to AI callers and privacy concerns.

Currently, only a select group of US-based Pixel 11 owners with Gemini subscriptions can access the 'Call for Me' feature. The rollout is limited and considered experimental, with Google monitoring how well the AI handles real-world calls.

Google has not announced plans for a wider launch or support for older Pixel models or non-US users. The company is gathering feedback and making adjustments as the test progresses.

The next steps depend on the results of this trial. Google will likely decide whether to expand the feature based on user feedback and technical performance. Key questions remain about how businesses will handle AI calls and whether users will trust the assistant for important conversations.
