Google’s Gemini AI just got a major upgrade and it’s no longer just helping you search. It’s picking up the phone and doing the work for you.
A new experimental feature, currently rolling out through Google’s AI Mode in Search Labs, allows Gemini to call local businesses on your behalf. Using its Duplex technology, the same AI voice that once made restaurant reservations, Gemini can now check prices, confirm inventory, ask about hours and deliver back a clean summary. All you have to do is tap a button and wait for the follow-up.
