""We feel it really shouldn't be so tedious, and shopping should feel - and can feel - a lot more natural and easy," she said. "The idea here is we want to hold on to all the fun parts of shopping, like the browsing, like the serendipitous discovery, and things like that, but then skip all the tedious, hard parts.""
"One update will allow consumers to ask shopping questions in AI Mode, Google's conversational search feature that lets you use natural language queries in a chatbot-style interface. The responses will be tailored to your question, and the chatbot will provide images when you need visual inspiration, alongside other details like price, reviews, and available inventory. So if you were looking for cozy sweaters in autumn colors, you'd see photos of the options available to you."
Google is rolling out multiple AI-powered shopping features ahead of the holiday season, including conversational shopping in AI Mode, new shopping capabilities in the Gemini app, agentic checkout, and an AI tool that can call local stores to check product availability. AI Mode offers natural-language, chatbot-style queries with tailored responses that include images, price, reviews, and inventory information. The Shopping Graph powers these features with over 50 billion product listings and 2 billion hourly updates to inventory. The Gemini app will provide fleshed-out shopping ideas in the U.S. Agentic checkout aims to simplify purchase completion while preserving browsing and discovery.
