How to Make a Restaurant Reservation Using Google Duplex

If your device supports Google Duplex and it’s available in your area, it’s very straightforward to have Google Assistant book you a table. Here’s how to do it.

How Google Assistant Works with Google Duplex

Google Duplex is an AI-powered voice dialer that works via Google Assistant. There are several ways to use Google Duplex, but in the simplest of terms, you can ask Google Assistant to make a reservation for you, and it will take care of the rest. Probably the most interesting aspect of all this is how Google Duplex makes those plans.  If your booking was successful, you’ll see the time and details on an information card. If Google Duplex was unable to book your table, Google Assistant will let you know, and offer some alternatives. Google Duplex pulls the information from Google Assistant and calls the business for you. Then, using advanced AI and voice emulation, Google Duplex holds a conversation with employees to place your booking. Unlike traditional voice dialing software, Google Duplex is designed to sound as normal as possible, featuring a human-like cadence and intonation. The net effect is it promises a more natural conversation for the person on the other end of the line. Once your booking is complete, Google Assistant will notify you with the details.
