Google just reimagined what it means to “shop online.” Forget clunky tabs, endless product pages, or wondering if that dress will actually fit. With its latest suite of AI-powered tools, Google is turning its search bar into your personal stylist, deal hunter, and checkout assistant—all at once.
This isn’t just smart shopping. It’s next-gen shopping.
👗 Try It On—Virtually, and On Your Actual Body
Say goodbye to guessing how a blouse or jacket will fit. Google now lets you upload a full-body photo and see exactly how clothes will drape, stretch, or hug your shape.
This feature—available in the U.S. through Search Labs—lets users:
- Preview outfits on themselves, not generic models.
- Save and share looks with friends.
- Switch styles quickly, all from one place.
Whether you’re browsing Google Images or Shopping, your new fitting room is just a click away.
📉 Price Alerts That Work Smarter (and Harder)
Google’s revamped price tracking lets you set custom alerts for:
- Specific colors
- Exact sizes
- Your ideal budget
Even better? When the price drops, you can let Google buy the item for you automatically with its new “agentic checkout” feature, powered by Google Pay. It’s a game-changer for flash sales and high-demand items.
🤖 Meet AI Mode—Your Personal Shopping Genie
Launching this fall, AI Mode is your style-savvy sidekick that listens, imagines, and delivers:
🛍️ Say: “I need a chic green dress for a fall wedding.”
AI Mode responds with:
- Concept visuals of possible outfits
- Real-time product matches from over 50 billion listings
- Custom filters based on your style, weather, or travel plans
It’s like scrolling Pinterest, but everything is instantly shoppable.
💸 Know When to Buy—and When to Wait
New features include:
- Price history graphs to show if that “deal” is actually a deal
- Refund triggers that alert you when eligible purchases drop in price post-checkout (where supported)
Combine this with smarter alerts and you’ll always be ahead of the curve.
