The News
Google has globally rolled out an AI-powered business calling feature, integrated with Gemini 2.5 Pro in AI Mode.
It’s more than voice automation — this feature embeds real-time language understanding, task routing, and contextual memory into every business call.
In plain terms:
The AI doesn’t just answer. It understands.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a convenience play.
It’s Google placing a bet on AI as a frontline communicator in enterprise settings.
- Real-time triage: AI handles the first contact — routing, filtering, and solving before a human even picks up.
- Context-aware memory: The AI retains conversation context — unlocking continuity across calls, chats, and CRM workflows.
- Enterprise-first design: This is built with Gemini 2.5 Pro — meaning it isn’t a consumer gimmick. It’s infrastructure.
If your business still thinks of AI as “back-office,” this move should reset that thinking.
Google’s AI isn’t automating paperwork anymore — it’s talking directly to your customers.

In Think In Tokens, I’ll analyze where voice-based AI is headed next:
- The shift from support automation to decision-tier interaction
- What this means for staffing, sales funnels, and CX strategy
- How to evaluate when AI belongs on the line — and when it doesn’t
Not just what Google launched.
Why it changes the playbook.
Sharp insight. No hype. Built for decision-makers.
