Google states Gemini cannot call emergency services or share sensitive info like passwords or social security numbers, though the piece is skeptical those guardrails will hold given how prompt manipulation tends to work. Meta is developing a similar calling feature called Muse, which can hand off calls to human contractors; one transcript reportedly showed a contractor making a racist remark, raising concerns about the alternative to bot-handled calls. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What can Google's Gemini phone-calling feature actually do? It can call businesses using the user's own phone number to check stock availability, make reservations, change appointments, or put items on hold. Gemini introduces itself, navigates phone menus, and waits on hold, while the user can optionally follow along via a live transcript. Google states it cannot call emergency services or disclose passwords or social security numbers. _Developers building voice or agentic AI features can track how daily.dev covers emerging assistant capabilities like this._ ### How does Meta's Muse calling feature compare to Google's Gemini calling feature? Muse, Meta's similar system for handling phone calls, can hand off conversations to human contractors rather than staying fully automated. In one reported case, a contractor made a racist remark during a handled call, raising concerns that businesses might face a tradeoff between an AI agent and a human contractor with poor judgment. _Anyone evaluating AI calling agents versus human-in-the-loop systems can follow daily.dev for comparisons like this._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
