Google is reportedly developing new AI-powered features for its upcoming Pixel 9 series that could automatically generate actionable to-do lists from phone conversations.
New feature overview: Google is developing a “Call To-do List” feature for the Google Phone app that builds upon the existing Call Notes functionality in the Pixel 9 series.
- The feature would use Gemini Nano AI to analyze phone conversations and automatically generate to-do lists based on the discussion content
- Users will be able to access, copy, and share these AI-generated lists directly from their call logs
- Like the current Call Notes feature, the to-do list generation is expected to process data locally on the device, ensuring user privacy
Technical details: Code discovered in the Google Phone app version 156.0.702757710 reveals the implementation framework for this new capability.
- The code connects “Call To-do List” functionality to “Fermat,” the internal codename for the Call Notes feature
- Call Notes currently uses on-device AI processing to generate conversation summaries
- The implementation suggests seamless integration with existing call log features
Additional developments: The Google Phone app is also expanding its spam call management capabilities.
- A new feature in Google Dialer will display monthly statistics showing the number of declined spam calls
- This information will appear as a popup notification in the call logs tab
Looking ahead: While these features show promise for enhancing productivity through AI-powered automation, their successful implementation will depend on the accuracy of conversation analysis and the ability to correctly identify actionable items from natural speech patterns.
