Google May Expand Gemini's 'Call for Me' Feature to Personal Calls
An APK teardown suggests Google is preparing to let users ask its AI assistant to make personal calls, such as telling family members they are running late.

Google appears to be preparing to expand its AI-powered "Call for Me" feature beyond business calls to include personal calls to friends and family, according to a report by The Verge.
Android Authority reported finding a "Gemini Calling" introductory screen during an APK teardown, the report said, with sample prompts including instructions such as asking the assistant to call a family member to say the user will be running late.
Google's existing "Call for Me" tool uses an AI voice to handle calls to businesses on a user's behalf, such as checking store hours or availability, with the AI conducting the conversation and relaying the results back to the user. Expanding the feature to personal contacts would mark a shift toward using AI-generated voice calls for everyday interpersonal communication rather than only transactional business inquiries.
Because the evidence comes from an unreleased interface found in an app teardown, the feature's exact scope, availability and rollout timeline remain unconfirmed, and Google has not formally announced the expansion.
Features found in app teardowns do not always ship in their discovered form, and companies sometimes alter or shelve planned features before public release.
