Google Enhances AI Shopping Tools for Conversational Search, Price Tracking, and Store Stock Checks
Google is enhancing its AI-powered shopping tools, integrating Gemini models with its Shopping Graph to enable more conversational searches and comparisons. Users can now ask complex questions, receive organized product grids or comparison tables, and utilize the Gemini app for planning within budget. New features include an AI that can call local stores to check stock and prices, and an automated checkout system that tracks prices and can complete purchases with user approval. These tools aim to streamline the shopping process for users in the U.S.
