Ask Google to call local businesses for you.

Updated July 24, 2026

We recently released a new agentic calling feature in the U.S. where you can ask Google to call local businesses for you to gather information about what’s available near you, if there are any discounts and more. Here’s how to use it:

1. On Google Search or in AI Mode, search for items like toys, health and beauty products or electronics and add “near me” or “nearby” to your search. This will indicate you want to know about buying something at a local retailer.
2. When you scroll down, you’ll see an option to have Google confirm it's in stock nearby. Click to get started.
3. You’ll see a short list of questions tailored to the product that will help Google understand what you’re looking for.
4. Indicate whether you want to get a summary via text, email or both. Once you do, Google will call relevant businesses for you.
5. Once the calls are complete, you’ll receive your summary.
