As demoed at the recent Pixel 8 launch event, the Call Screen feature on Pixel is receiving support for Contextual Replies. Alongside answering the calls on Users’ behalf, it allows the users to cleverly determine which calls are worth picking and which ones to skip. As the name suggests, it helps to filter the important calls and answer the unimportant ones automatically by engaging in more natural conversation.
Must See: Google Pixel’s Revamped Call Screening Feature is Simpler & Faster
What is Pixel’s Call Screen Feature with Contextual Reply?
The Call Screen feature determines the urgency while conversing with the caller. While saving time, it even helps to reduce spam callers which are more likely to hang automatically. The feature can be enabled for the contact list members too, if required. Google Assistant will greet the family member or friend with a greeting before asking for “Ask if urgent”.
The transcription of all the calls is made available to the user so that he/she can determine whether to pick or not. It is a step ahead of the Call Screen feature that lets the users respond with a tap without picking up the call. The feature is spotted by @Mishaal Rehman on the Pixel smartphones including old Pixels such as the Pixel 7 series, and Pixel 6 Series. We are unable to verify whether the feature is available on the Pixel Watch yet or not.
At the Pixel 8 Launch event, Google presented a couple of examples to filter important calls. For example, an airline representative followed up with a user about ticketing options, and an AI bot said, “Okay, let me try to get the person you’re trying to reach on the line.”
