Today’s phones are so capable we sometimes forget what they were originally made for: taking or making calls. For years, we’ve built Pixel features to make calls easier than ever. Take a Message is the next step, using the very best conversational AI from Google for a smarter way to deal with missed or declined calls.

Take a Message is now available on all of our latest Pixel 10 phones to help you handle your missed and declined calls. It runs entirely on device and uses the same spam detection model from Call Screen, which continues to excel at blocking spam when evaluating your messages. Take a Message also creates a real-time transcript of voice messages from missed or declined calls, and after the call it creates AI-generated next steps, just like Call Notes, to make sure you don't miss anything critical.
