Google is reportedly working on a new AI feature that will enhance its existing Call Screening function, which helps users avoid spam and unwanted calls. The Call Screening feature, currently available on Google Pixel phones, allows users to see why a caller is trying to reach them. With the planned addition of AI, users will not only have the call screened but will also receive suggested AI-generated responses to communicate back effectively without needing to answer directly.
The integration of AI-generated replies could make it easier for users to manage calls in real time, whether they want to respond with a quick message or need more information from the caller before deciding to pick up. The technology is expected to work similarly to Google’s AI-driven Smart Replies and ChatGPT-like responses found in messaging services, bringing quick-response capability to the call experience.
This feature has the potential to improve productivity, streamline call management, and provide a safer way for users to handle unknown or suspicious calls. Google will announce when the feature will be fully rolled out or if it will remain exclusive to Pixel devices.
