As you can guess, most of the features revolve around AI technology. Well, Google announced a new feature called Call Notes, and it could help you remember what was discussed during a call.
Google’s latest Made By Google event just happened and we’re all still reeling from the announcements. Along with the new phones, Google also announced the new Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds 2 Pro. If you’re excited about these products, and you’re a Verizon customer, then there are some deals that you’ll like.
The Pixel 9 Call Notes feature can summarize your phone calls
So far, we’ve seen AI tools that can summarize different parts of our lives, and this functionality seems to be the most common application of generative AI. Google wants to bring this functionality into the real world.
The new Call Notes feature is a part of Google’s Call Assist suite of tools. It’s a tool that will create an AI-generated summary of your phone calls. This could come in very handy when you need to remember a bit of information discussed during a call. We’ve all been in the situation when we need to jot down a number or some sort of information, but we don’t have a pen and paper at the ready.
Well, Call Notes will summarize the key details of the call. When you tap on a contact in the Google Phone app, you’ll see the summary from your latest conversation pop up. What’s neat is that you’ll be able to copy the summary and share it. If the summary doesn’t have the information that you need, you can expand the view to show a full transcript of your conversation.

Google made sure that this is a secure feature. For starters, all of the AI is processed and stored on-device. You won’t have to worry about Google sending data to the cloud for processing.
Also, this function doesn’t start automatically. The app will show you a popup that will allow you to start it. When you start it, it will notify both parties, so the other party won’t be caught off guard.
Call Notes is landing on all Pixel 9 phones. This includes the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold along with the base model.
