Skills like taking pictures in near dark ... but can also screen your calls for you.
The feature was that if there was a number you didn't quite know, you could hit the 'screen' button and then Google's Assistant would talk to the caller and give you a transcript of the conversation so you can determine if it's spam or just your mom calling from a public phone.
Now, the feature wasn't immediately available, and then went to Americans. Well, apparently us Canuckians can get this feature for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3.
To get it you need to opt into the Phone beta program.
I've gone ahead and done that, even got an update today - but I still don't see the option.
Maybe it'll be soon!
But check out their blog for more details:
