We\u2019re testing right now with auto shops and nail salons, to see how AI can help you connect with businesses and get things done. Just opt-in &amp; search something like \u201coil change near me\u201d to try it out, and let us know what you think! FYI you might hit a waitlist, since capacity is limited during the experiment. In case you\u2019re wondering \u2026 this is using the same underlying Duplex tech that\u2019s used to make restaurant reservations via Search\/Maps. We also use Duplex to help businesses keep their details, like store hours, fresh on Maps. This has helped millions of businesses relay updated info to their customers. Has been especially helpful during times when this info is changing rapidly, like during the pandemic. As always, businesses can opt out if they wish and we clearly disclose calls.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Duplex. <\/strong>Yes, years ago, Google had this featured named Duplex that helped you make reservation <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointments at restaurants within Google Search and Maps.<\/p>\n<p>Duplex is an AI-powered phone based-system for booking appointments with local businesses that don\u2019t have online scheduling. It was first demonstrated at\u00a0Google\u2019s developer conference\u00a0in May 2018. The demo, though controlled, was impressive and very \u201cnatural language\u201d sounding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>This may be another way for Google to send more leads and business opportunities to businesses online. It is a super early labs experiment, and it is unknown if this will fully roll out but it is neat to see Google playing with this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"about-author\">\n<p>About the author<\/p>\n<div class=\"information\">\n<div class=\"author-module\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-3 text-center\">\n<div class=\"avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-9\">\n<div class=\"about\">\n<div class=\"name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Barry Schwartz<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"row g-2 pt-2\">\n<div class=\"col-auto twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/follow?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fsearchengineland.com%2F&amp;region=follow_link&amp;screen_name=rustybrick&amp;tw_p=followbutton&amp;variant=2.0\" rel=\"me\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rustybrick\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tBarry Schwartz is a technologist and a Contributing Editor to Search Engine Land and a member of the programming team for SMX events.
