According to a report from <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/gemini-call-for-me-personal-contacts-3719183/"><em>Android Authority</em></a>, an introductory screen for "Gemini Calling" was discovered in an APK teardown, featuring examples such as "Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late" and "Call John and ask if he is coming for dinner." </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">These examples suggest that even with this expansion, Gemini will likely be limited to basic, text message-like calls. While Google's AI may not facilitate an entire catch-up phone call, it could be used to deliver quick messages to individuals who prefer phone calls or often miss texts.</p> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1005177/google-gemini-call-for-me-expansion-rumors">Read the full story at The Verge.</a></p>
