My last few Pixels have had a similar option when calling IVR systems. "hold for me" it's labeled as. I still have to navigate the initial prompts but once it's hold time, I hit the button and it sits through the hold music, promoting me once it detects an agent.

It will Speech to Text the menus if you press the option as soon as you dial in. That's a little less useful currently.

One of the things I miss after dropping Graphene on my Pixel 8.
