- Google is planning to expand its AI feature 'Gemini Call for Me' from business calls to simple personal call automation between family and friends.
- This feature works by having the AI deliver simple messages the user wants over the phone, for example, handling requests like "Tell my mother I'm 15 minutes late."
- During APK analysis, Android Authority discovered detailed app-specific permission settings for the Gemini Call feature, suggesting users may be able to choose whether to allow automatic call reception.
- However, it is not yet confirmed if Google will officially release this feature and permission settings. The feature does not support long conversation automation and is limited as a replacement for text messages.
It's notable that the AI focuses on delivering simple messages via phone calls instead of lengthy conversations. Having app-specific permission settings for automated calls would be an important factor for privacy, but I'm curious how user choice and call quality will be maintained in actual use.
