Google Gemini Calls on Pixel 11
Google resurrects its decade-long ambition to automate phone calls with Call for Me, an experimental beta exclusive to Pixel 11. Unlike the failed Duplex, this iteration leverages modern LLMs to navigate hold menus and negotiate appointments in real-time. It represents a tangible shift from passive call screening to active agent execution on consumer hardware. The feature is currently limited to US English users with Gemini subscriptions, serving as a live stress test for voice-based AI agents in unstructured environments.

Meta Muse adds video calls and email
Meta is pushing its consumer AI agent, Muse, beyond text by adding live video calling with customizable avatars. The update also grants agents their own email addresses for task execution and expands desktop control on Mac. This moves Muse from a simple chatbot toward a persistent, multimodal assistant capable of handling asynchronous communication and real-time visual interaction. It signals Meta's intent to make AI agents feel like continuous companions rather than transactional tools.
