Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations (security.googleblog.com)

More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024. To combat the rise of sophisticated conversational scams that deceive victims over the course of a phone call, we introduced Scam Detection late last year to U.S.-based English-speaking Phone by Google public beta users on Pixel phones.

We use AI models processed on-device to analyze conversations in real-time and warn users of potential scams. If a caller, for example, tries to get you to provide payment via gift cards to complete a delivery, Scam Detection will alert you through audio and haptic notifications and display a warning on your phone that the call may be a scam.

My biggest issue right now is trying to figure out what I need/want to work vs things I don't need. This list is one I've been keeping of things that I want it to do/be compatible with:

Weather Calendar News/RSS Feed Light Panel Media Panel Search Query Panel Use of Voice controls Singular touchscreen hub and android phone Works with Google home max speakers and Google nest mini speakers Chromecast equivalent functionality

It's based on the things I use Google Assistant for daily or at the very least weekly. Most all of it can be done with an android tablet and my raspberry pi. But implementing it to be the way I want isn't as simple (hasn't been as simple for me) and I think that's down to following guides for a lot of things that weren't necessarily intended to work together cohesively.
