Claude Managed Agents Now Available

Google updates Gemini 3.8 with Live Avatar technology and advanced Text-to-Speech capabilities.

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.
