With Black Friday and Cyber Monday fast approaching, you can rely on our latest AI shopping features to make your holiday shopping less hassle and more fun. Here are four ways to use our newest features while you’re shopping for gifts this busy weekend:
1. Track prices so you never miss a deal
Don’t spend your holiday weekend scouring online stores waiting for a price drop. When looking at products on Google, just tap “track price” on an item you’re interested in, enter the details of what you want (like color and size), and we’ll send you a notification when the price falls within your budget from any store. And with eligible sellers in the US, you can then use our new agent checkout feature to have Google complete the purchase securely for you on the seller’s site using Google Pay.
If you don’t want to wait for a price drop, you can use Price Insights to check the offers you see. Just click on a product on Google to see prices from around the web, as well as whether a given price is high, low or typical based on prices over the past three months.
2. Ask the AI to shop for the most difficult person on your list
We all have those people who are impossible to act for. Instead of guessing, take advantage of our latest shopping updates in AI mode in Search and the Gemini app and try to describe their mood, interests or needs. So for your mom who lives in Colorado, you can ask AI Mode to “find me skin care products for dry Colorado winters.” You’ll get intelligently organized answers that include product descriptions, comprehensive images and all the shopping details you need – such as reviews, promotions and stock data – to find just the thing. And with more than 50 billion constantly updated listings in Google’s Shopping Graph, you can trust that you’re seeing the best gift options out there.
3. Use agent AI to find items locally – without the hassle
Two-thirds of U.S. holiday shoppers say they will confirm online that an item is in stock before purchasing it — but what about small businesses that don’t list their inventory online? Instead of spending all afternoon calling around, just search for the item you’re looking for “near me” on Search (starting with certain categories like toys, health & beauty, and electronics) and look for “Let Google Call.” With the help of Gemini, we’ll ask you a few questions about the product you’re looking for, call nearby stores that may have the item, then send you a text or email with the details – saving you time while still shopping small.
4. Try on holiday outfit ideas almost before you buy
Finding the perfect holiday look can mean endless hours spent in dressing rooms. Skip all that and use virtual try-on to explore your festive fits instead. You can see how clothes from billions of product listings look at you by simply taking a picture of yourself. Virtual try-on is available for a wide range of clothing types on Google from holiday dresses to cozy sweaters – and even shoes. Do you need a second opinion? Just tap to share options with friends or family.
