Ever been too lazy to make a call?
Like, you need to book something, get a quote, or check availability — but the idea of picking up your phone and talking to an actual human just feels... exhausting?
Yeah, well, Google gets it. That’s why they’ve dropped a new AI-powered feature in Search that literally makes the call for you—we’re talking, real phone calls with actual humans on the other end.
You just search for something like “nail salons near me” or “pet groomers,” hit the “Have AI check pricing” button, answer a few quick questions, and boom — the AI picks up the phone, asks about pricing and availability, and brings the info right back to you.
And no — this isn’t some coming soon feature. It’s live now for everyone in the U.S.
Also, yes — the AI does tell businesses it’s a bot. Google learned from the whole “wait, was that a real person?” drama a few years back when its Duplex tech sounded a little too human. So now, every call starts with: “This is an automated system calling from Google on behalf of a user.”
But honestly? That’s just the surface.
Google is going all in on upgrades to AI Mode in Search — and if you’re a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriber, you’re basically getting the VIP package.
Here’s what’s new:
Gemini 2.5 Pro is now baked into Search for subscribers. That means smarter, sharper answers — especially for complex stuff like reasoning, coding, and advanced math.
A brand-new Deep Search feature just dropped. This one’s crazy: it scans hundreds of sources, pulls insights, connects the dots, and spits out a fully-cited research report in literal minutes. Perfect for big decisions — think job hunts, house shopping, financial research, and more.
And let’s not forget — Google already rolled out voice chat, a slick AI-powered shopping experience, and other tools that make Search feel less like, well, search, and more like your overachieving research buddy who does all the hard work for you.
Basically, Google Search just got a personality transplant — and now it’s that friend who does your homework and calls the vet and builds you a color-coded spreadsheet for fun.
So yeah — phone calls are now officially optional.
