Google may be preparing to extend its "Call for Me" AI feature from business scenarios to everyday personal conversations, according to a leak uncovered by Android Authority. During an APK teardown, the publication found an introductory screen labeled "Gemini Calling" that includes sample prompts such as "Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late" and "Call John and ask if he is coming for dinner." The discovery suggests Gemini could soon place phone calls on a user's behalf to deliver short, spontaneous messages. If implemented, the feature would mark a notable expansion of Google's AI assistant into direct telephony.
"Call for Me" was originally conceived as a tool for handling business calls, letting Google's AI screen incoming inquiries and relay information without the user picking up the phone. The newly surfaced screen indicates that Google is exploring a consumer-facing version aimed at friends and family rather than companies. Android Authority reported the strings as part of a teardown rather than a live feature, meaning the capability may still be in early development. Google has not publicly announced or demonstrated the personal-call functionality.
Based on the example prompts, the feature would likely be restricted to basic, text-message-like exchanges rather than extended conversations. Google's AI probably would not carry out a full catch-up call with relatives, but it could relay quick, practical updates. Such a tool could appeal to recipients who prefer hearing a voice, who frequently miss text messages, or who still rely on landline telephones. In effect, it would automate the kind of short call that people often place when a text feels too impersonal.
Android Authority also identified what it described as "granular permissions" for Gemini actions across individual applications, including apparent settings governing phone call permissions. These controls would let users select which app capabilities Gemini is allowed to access on a case-by-case basis. Crucially, the same mechanism could provide an option to opt out of receiving incoming automated calls generated by Gemini. The presence of such toggles suggests Google is at least considering consent and control questions around AI-initiated calling.
The feature's ultimate fate remains unclear, as Android Authority noted that Google might choose not to publicly release either the expansion or the granular app settings. No official confirmation, launch date, or platform availability has been provided by the company. The possibility of automated calls also raises practical concerns for recipients who may not know they are speaking to an AI. Analysts and users will likely scrutinize how Google handles disclosure when Gemini places a call.
If Google does ship the capability, it would fit into a broader strategy of embedding Gemini across Android and Google's service portfolio. The timing, scope, and regional availability are still unknown, and the feature could change substantially before any release. Observers will be watching for further references in future Android builds and Google announcements. For now, the leak offers only an early glimpse of how Google imagines AI handling the humble phone call.
