The company has added shopping features directly inside the Gemini app. It allows users to search for products by just using simple conversations rather than typing words. The app will showcase product listings, their prices, buying links, all in one place. Moreover, it also provides comparisons tables to help users chose better options, making the shopping process quick and simple.

Besides shopping mode, Google has also upgraded AI Mode in Search. It means, users can now ask questions in a more natural way. In return, they will get clear answers and responses with product details. These results will include images, prices, reviews, and availability.
In addition to this, users can also see side-by-side comparisons of different products. This helps them in making better buying decisions. Currently, the feature is available in English language, and Hindi support is expected soon.
Apart from this, Google has also improved Circle to Search feature for supported devices. The feature can now identify multiple items in a single image. To understand this, you can select different parts of an outfit like shoes or clothes and can find similar products online. This improvement makes the shopping more visual and easy. This way, users will be able to discover products directly from images.
All these new features are powered by Google’s Shopping Graph, wherein the datasets includes over 50 billion product listings along with their updates. The model provides real-time information to users about pricing, availability, reviews, and more.
By launching this update, Google is aiming to make online shopping more simple and faster. To recall, earlier users had to open multiple websites to compare products. But, now they can see everything at one place. There are some additional features like Virtual Try-On, helping users see how they might look before buying.
