AI Mode will also let you compare items for products it thinks you want more information on . AI Mode will display price, reviews, and inventory information, and it'll let you continue the conversation as you refine the search parameters.Google uses its AI models and data from the Shopping Graph to power the new"vibe-shopping" experience in AI Mode. The latter includes more than 50 billion product listings, 2 billion of which are updated every hour. AI Mode will also show ads based on your chats. Google said during the briefing that prompt data is used in line with existing personalization settings in Google Search.Browsing online stores with AI Mode isn't the only handy shopping feature Google announced. The Gemini app now also includes ad-free shopping features . You can ask the AI for shopping ideas, and Gemini will use the same Shopping Graph to offer data, complete with visuals and products you can buy. The feature is rolling out to U.S. users ahead of the Black Friday shopping season.More importantly, Google is making a few AI agentic experiences available in Google Search and AI Mode that can improve your shopping experience.

The feature will work with specific merchants initially, including Wayfair, Chewy, Quince, and Shopify.Google Search also supports a new"Let Google Call" feature where the AI can place a voice call to a store nearby to inquire about the availability of a specific product. The feature is powered by Google's existing Duplex technology, with a large Gemini model identifying the best shops to call. The AI will also identify itself during voice calls with stores. Once the AI finds out the information you wanted, you'll get a text or email message. The feature will cover products like toys, health and beauty, and electronics.
