Cécile Christodoulou on 22 Nov 18"Duplex - Google's artificially intelligent chat agent that can arrange appointments over the phone - has expanded from a "set of trusted tester users" earlier this year to a "small group" of Google Pixel phone owners, who can now use Duplex via the Google Assistant to secure restaurant reservations in "select cities." [...] Notice that Duplex begins the conversation by saying "Hi, I'm calling to make a reservation for a client. I'm calling from Google, so the call may be recorded." Google received a ton of criticism after its initial Duplex demo in May - many were not amused that Google Assistant mimicked a human so well. In June, the company promised that Google Assistant using Duplex would first introduce itself."
