Google is developing ‘Conversation Capture,’ an advanced voice-recording system for Pixel phones that integrates artificial intelligence to produce summaries, transcripts, and actionable insights, set to debut with the Pixel 11.
Google is preparing a more capable voice-recording system for Pixel phones that appears designed to move beyond simple capture and into automated note-taking. According to Android Authority, the feature is being developed under the internal code name “Auris” and is expected to arrive with the Pixel 11 line on August 12. The new tool, which may be called “Conversation Capture”, is intended to complement or replace the current Recorder app on Google devices. It would tie into Gemini, Google’s artificial intelligence model, to produce summaries, detailed transcripts and searchable highlights from recorded audio.
The move would build on Google’s expanding call-recording support for Pixel handsets. Android Central reported that, as of November 2025, Google widened native call recording to more regions after long-standing restrictions, with the feature available through the Phone by Google app on Pixel 6 models and later running Android 14 or above. That version allows users to start recording during a call, set automatic recording rules and choose how long recordings are kept. Google also adds audible alerts to help satisfy legal requirements in markets where recording calls is restricted. Advanced AI-assisted tools such as Call Notes remain limited to newer Pixel models, including the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10.
What sets the reported Conversation Capture system apart is its deeper automation. Android Authority said Google is testing a “Magic Cue” function that could suggest follow-up actions after a meeting, such as creating reminders or adding events to a calendar. The feature is expected to be accessible through a dedicated app and a quick-settings shortcut marked by a speech-bubble icon. Transcripts would identify individual speakers, and users would receive a notification once processing is complete.
Privacy also appears to be a central part of the design. According to the report, recordings and transcripts would be protected with end-to-end encryption and stored in a secure area on the device and in the cloud, with access by Google or Gemini requiring explicit permission from the user. If Google unveils the system as expected alongside the Pixel 11 and new Pixel Watch models, it would mark another step in the company’s effort to make its phones more useful for meetings, calls and personal organisation without relying on third-party apps.
