I’m sure you’ve heard of vibe coding – this is the season of vibe shopping 😉 Like many of us, I love to shop — browsing, finding what I like, and envisioning how it fits into my life. But the endless scrolling, comparing prices, and clicking through filters can feel like work. With AI, we can take more of the drudgery out of shopping, so you can focus on the fun parts. We launched several new features to do just that, starting to roll out today: 🛍️ Conversational shopping is now available in AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app. Rather than typing in keywords or selecting filters, you can just describe what you’re looking for, like you would to a friend, and get a response with product images, accurate prices, reviews, and inventory information to help you choose. It’s all powered by our Shopping Graph – so it’s info that you can trust, with the latest prices and availability. 📞 Agentic AI-powered calling is now available for local inventory, so Google can call nearby businesses on your behalf to find out if they have a certain product, how much it costs, and if there are any special promos. It is powered by our Duplex technology, which already keeps things like store holiday hours up to date on Maps and Search. A Gemini upgrade also helps us identify the best stores to call, suggest helpful questions to ask based on the product you want, and send a summary of your key takeaways and options. 🏷️ Lastly, we’re starting to roll out agentic checkout – track the price on a product you’re interested in, and when the price drops within your budget, Google will buy it for you with your permission. This helps consumers who don’t want to miss out, and for merchants to get high-intent sales that they may not have captured. You can try these new features out starting today.
